    Abstract:
    4-Methoxybenzyl 2,4-di-O-benzyl-3-O-[2,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-3-O-(3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-alpha-D- galactopyranosyl)-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl]-alpha-L-rhamnopyranoside (22), a building block for the alpha-D-Galp-(1----3)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1----3)-alpha-L-Rhap fragment of the capsular polysaccharides of Streptococcus pneumoniae types 6A and 6B [----2)-alpha-D-Galp-(1----3)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1----3)-alpha-L-Rhap-( 1----X)-D- RibOH-(5-P----]n (6A, X = 3; 6B, X = 4) has been synthesised. Ethyl 3-O-allyl-2,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-1-thio-beta-D-glucopyranoside was coupled with 4-methoxybenzyl 2,4-di-O-benzyl-alpha-L-rhamnopyranoside in ether, using methyl triflate as promoter. The resulting alpha-D-Glcp-(1----3)-alpha-L-Rhap derivative was deallylated with KOBut in N,N-dimethylformamide followed by 0.1M HCl in 9:1 acetone-water. The product was coupled with 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-O-allyl-alpha,beta-D-galactopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate in ether, using trimethylsilyl triflate, to yield 19. Deacetylation, benzylation, and deallylation then gave 22.
