J. Zhang et al., STUDIES ON CARBOHYDRATES .18. SYNTHESIS OF TETRASACCHARIDE CORRESPONDING TO BIOLOGICAL REPEAT UNITS OF SERRATIA-MARCESCENS O-18 POLYSACCHARIDE, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 5(11), 1994, pp. 2283-2290
The sqnthesis of a blocked tetrasaccharide portion of the biological r
epeat unit, [-->2)L-Rhap alpha(1-->2)L-Rhap alpha(1-->2)L-Rhap alpha (
1-->6)D-GlcNAcp alpha(1-->], of the Serratia marcescens O18 polysaccha
ride was described The key intermediate compounds was 3,4-blocked -L-r
hamnose. All compounds were confirmed by use of high resolution NMR an
d FAB-MS techniques.
