The synthesis of the tetrasaccharide repeating unit of the O-antigen of Escherichia coli O163 as its p-methoxyphenyl (PMP) glycoside was achieved followed by sequential glycosylation strategy through thioglycoside activation using sulfuric acid immobilized on silica (H2SO4-silica) in conjunction with N-iodosuccinimide as a Bronsted acid catalyst. The application of one-pot reaction conditions for two glycosylations and in situ PMB-group removal reduced the number of reaction steps significantly. The l-QuipNAc building block was obtained from known carbohydrate l-rhamnose precursors. The stereoselective outcomes of all glycosylation reactions were found to be very good. A late-stage TEMPO-mediated oxidation was performed for the formation of required uronic acid moiety. An analogue of the target tetrasaccharide was also prepared by using one-pot glycosylation approach. Such synthetic oligosaccharides could later be effectively conjugated with an appropriate protein to furnish glycoconjugate derivatives for their use in immunochemical studies.
