Abstract
A highly facile stereospecific synthesis of 'manno-Gb3' trisaccharide as its 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl glycoside is reported in which the crucial glycosylation reaction of the appropriately protected lactoside acceptor 10 with acetobromomannose was carried out using molecular iodine in excellent yield. The Gb3 analogue 3 is expected to serve as an inhibitor of Shiga/Shiga-like toxins.
