Lm. Mikkelsen et al., A highly convergent synthesis of a branched C-trisaccharide employing a double SmI2-promoted C-glycosylation, CHEM COMMUN, (23), 2000, pp. 2319-2320
The branched C-trisaccharide analogue of alpha -D-Man-(1 -->3)-[alpha -D-Ma
n-(1 -->6)]-D-Man has been synthesised by the SmI2-mediated coupling of two
mannosyl pyridyl sulfone units to a monosaccharide dialdehyde. This approa
ch represents a highly convergent synthesis of a C-oligosaccharide.
