Abstract Syntheses of methyl 3-O-α-d-galactopyranosyl-α-d-mannopyranoside (10) and methyl 3-O-α-d-galactopyranosyl-2-O-(β-d-glucopyranosyluronic acid)-α-d- mannopyranoside (11) in good yield are described. Both 10 and 11 significantly inhibit antigen-antibody precipitation in the Klebsiella Type 10 immune system. The results provide more evidence for the structure (1) of the antigen from Klebsiella K-10 and its ...
