✦ Synopsis

A highly efficient strategy for the preparation of D-mannose hexa-and nonasaccharides, the dimer and trimer of the a-D-Manp-( )-[a-D-Manp-( )-]D-Manp trisaccharide repeating unit of the cell-wall mannans from the fungi Epidermophyton floccosum, Trychophyton mentagrophytes, Microsporum canis, M. cookei and M. racemosum, has been developed using 1,2,6-tri-O-acetyl-3,4-di-O-benzoyl-a-D-mannopyranose (6) as the key synthon.
