Abstract

A series of di-and trisaccharide glycosides based on the α-l-Rha (1→ 3) β-d-GlcNAc and α-l- Rha (1→ 3) α-l-Rha (1→ 3) β-d-GlcNAc elements have been synthesized to locate the minimal oligosaccharide determinant of the Shigella flexneri O-polysaccharide, which is built from a tetrasaccharide repeating unit,[→ 2) α-l-Rha p (1→ 2) α-l-Rha p (1→ 3) α-l-Rha p (1→ 3) β-d-GlcNAc p (1-] n. These compounds also serve to identify the carbohydrate surface ...
