Abstract For the investigation of glycosidases, and for the construction of glycan arrays the p- nitrophenyl-and p-aminophenyl glycosides of mucin O-glycan core structures 1–7 and the 2, 6-ST-antigen have been chemically synthesized using d-galactose as a precursor for GalNAc residues. GlcNAc residues have partly been introduced using a 4, 6-di-O-benzoyl-2, 3-N, O-oxazolidinone-protected donor, which allowed deprotection of the formed di-and tri ...
