A two-directional and highly convergent approach for the synthesis of the tumor-associated antigen Globo-H

Abstract

The assembly of six readily available building blocks in five glycosylation steps affords the tumor-associated Globo-H hexasaccharide 1 without the need for any intermediate protecting group manipulations. The aminopropyl spacer is employed for conjugation to carrier proteins.
