摘要

The first chemical synthesis of a highly sulfated tetrasaccharide 1, as the rare sequence in the galactofucan isolated from the brown alga Sargassum polycystum, was achieved in a convergent and stereoselective manner. The key features of the synthetic strategy include construction of multiple contiguous 1,2-cis glycosidic bonds and [2 2] assembly based on the rationally developed D-galactose building block 6. The synthesized oligosaccharides were fully characterized using a combination of coupled-HSQC and other 2D NMR techniques.
