Article Title: Application of the glycal assembly method to the concise synthesis of neoglycoconjugates of Le(y) and Le(b) blood group determinants and of H-type I and H-type II oligosaccharides
Abstract: The power of the glycal assembly strategy for reaching Lewis and H-type blood group determinants is demonstrated herein. Three key elements form the basis of the method. Thus, a-epoxides derived from galactal cyclic carbonate 13 are produced stereospecifically and are highly effective β-galactosyl donors. Also, 6-monoprotected glucals can be regiospecifically glycosylated at the C3 hydroxyl (see 23 + 13 → 24). Moreover, glycosylation via a glycal epoxide produces a unique C2 hydroxyl in the product which can be exploited as the acceptor site for branching (see formation of 26). © 1995, American Chemical Society.
