Synthesis of Methyl O-(2-Acetamido-2-Deoxy-α-D-Glucopyranosyl)-(1→2)-O-α-D-Glucopyranosyl-(l→2)-α-D-Galactopyranoside and of Methyl O-α-D-Glucopyranosyl-(l→2)-O-α-D-Galactopyranosyl-(1→3)-O-[α-D-Galactopyranosyl-(1→6)]-α-D-Glucopyranoside, Corresponding to Parts of the Outer Core of the Salmonella Cell Wall Lipopolysaccharide

In the syntheses of the title oligosaccharides, the glycosyl donors had non-participating groups, either benzyl, p-methoxybenzyl or azidodeoxy, in the 2-positions. Glycosylations with glycosyl bromides were performed using halide assistance or silver triflate promotion. Glycosidations using thioglycosides were performed with dimethyl(methylthio)sulfonium triflate as promoter.
