α-d-Manp-(1→3)-[α-d-Manp-(1→6)]-α-d-Glcp-(1→3)-β-d-Glcp-(1→3)-[α-d-Manp-(1→6)]-d-Glcp and α-d-Manp-(1→3)-[β-d-Glcp-(1→6)]-α-d-Glcp-(1→3)-β-d-Glcp-(1→3)[-α-d-Manp-(1→6)]-d-Glcp were synthesized in a regio- and stereoselective way as the mannose-containing analogues of the immunomodulating β-d-Glcp-(1→3)-[β-d-Glcp-(1→6)]-α-d-Glcp-(1→3)-β-d-Glcp-(1→3)-[β-d-Glcp-(1→6)]-d-Glcp.
