Abstract
The fast, selective and mild removal of levulinoyl groups with hydrazine from galactose, which also carries hydroxyl functions protected with acetyl groups, enabled us, under KoenigsβKnorr conditions, to synthesize triβ and tetrasaccharides containing Ξ²βlinked galactose and glucose units. Selective acylation of the primary alcoholic group of the partially protected galactose derivative 13b with levulinic acid was achieved in good yield. The preparation of tetrasaccharide 18b, having a free hydroxyl function, was effected by condensing dimer 16b with the bromo derivative 17, followed by the removal of the levulioyl group with hydrazine.

The 2-(allyloxy) phenyl acetyl group can be removed by a relay approach using Pd(PPh 3 ) 4 in combination with proton sponge, conditions that do not affect acetyl, benzoyl and levulinoyl esters. On the other hand, the acetyl and levulinoyl ester could be cleaved without removal of the 2-(allyloxy) p
