Wt. Jiaang et al., A concise synthesis of the O-glycosylated amino acid building block; usingphenyl selenoglycoside as a glycosyl donor, TETRAHEDR L, 41(17), 2000, pp. 3127-3130
A new glycosylation methodology for synthesizing a protected TF antigen is
described. The key step is to use phenyl selenoglycoside as a glycosyl dono
r, thereby successfully establishing O-linked Fmoc-protected threoninyl mon
osaccharide in an excellent yield with high alpha selectivity. From protect
ed D-galactal, a protected TF antigen building block is obtained in 40% tot
al yield. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
