✦ Synopsis
A convergent synthesis of a hexasaccharide corresponding to the cell-wall polysaccharide of the &hemolytic Streptococcus Group A is described. The strategy relies on the preparation of a key linear trisaccharide unit f3-D-GlcpNAc-(1 --) 3)-cY-r_-Rhap_(l + 2)-o-L-Rhap which has previously resisted our efforts. The trisaccharide functions both as a glycosyl acceptor and donor to give an elusive hexasaccharide. This fully functionalized unit can serve, in turn, as a glycosyl acceptor or donor for the synthesis of higher-order structures. Deprotection gives a hitherto unknown hexasaccharide for use as a hapten in immunochemical studies. The characterization of all compounds by high-resolution 'H and 13C NMR spectroscopy is also described.
