Abstract

Abstract Tetrasaccharide cap present in lipophosphoglycan of the Leishmania donovani responsible for visceral Leishmaniaisis is synthesized as a fully protected propargyl glycoside. AuBr 3 mediated selective glycosylation of propargyl 1, 2-orthoester in the presence of propargyl glycoside is employed as a key step to obtain propargyl containing oligomers. Further, propargyl tetrasaccharide is connected with a long chain hydrocarbon ...
