Synthesis of a Trifucosyl Ley Heptasaccharide Corresponding to a Tumor-Associated Glycolipid

Abstract
The trifucosyl Ley derivative, 2-(p-trifluoracetamidophenyl)ethyl O-α-L-fucopyranosyl-(l→2)-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-(l→4)-O-[α-L-fucopyranosyl-(1→3)]-O-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(l→3)-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-(l→4)-O-[α-L-fucopyranosyl-(l→3)]-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranoside, was synthesized from thioglycoside building blocks. A two plus three condensation gave a linear pentasaccharide derivative which was difucosylated and deprotected to give the target structure.
