Synthesis of divalent β-(1→6)-branched (1→3)-glucohexaose and trivalent β-(1→6)-branched (1→3)-glucotriose Original Research Article

Hexaose, 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)]-β-d-Glcp, based dimers were synthesized by twofold glycosidation of the hexaosyl trichloroacetimidate with hexylene 1,6-diol, diethylene glycol and triethylene glycol, respectively. Meanwhile, a triose, β-1d-Glcp-(1→3)-[β-d-Glcp-(1→6)]-β-d-Glcp, based trimer was obtained by glycosidation of the triosyl trichloroacetimidate with a glycerol-derived triol scaffold.
