✦ Synopsis
The title branched-trisaccharide derivatives (9 and 13) have been synthesised from methyl 2,3-O-(2-nitrobenzylidene)-a-L-rhamnopyranoside (2) using the 2nitrobenzylidene residue as a temporary blocking-group. Condensation of 2 with methyl (2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-a-D-glucopyranosyl bromide)uronate afforded the blocked disaccharide 3 which, on sequential photolysis and oxidation, gave methyl 4-0-(methyl 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-~-D-glucopyranosyluronate)-2-O-(Znitrobenzoyl)-(4) and -3-0-(2-nitrobenzoyl)-cY-L-rhamnopyranoside (5) as a 4: 1 mixture. Galactosylation of HO-3 of 4 gave two fully protected trisaccharides having paa and /3@ configuration which, on deacylation, saponification, and treatment with ionexchange resins, gave the free acids 9 and 13. *The Photochemistry of Carbohydrate Derivatives.
