Methyl O-(2,4-di-O-benzoyl-3-O-bromoacetyl-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl)-(1 → 3)-2,4-di-O-benzoyl-α-l-rhamnopyranoside was treated with dichloromethyl methyl ether and ZnCl2 to give O-(2,4-di-O-benzoyl-3-O-bromoacetyl-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl)-(1 → 3)-2,4-di-O-benzoyl-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl chloride. Similar treatment of methyl O-(3,4-,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-azido-2-deoxy-α-d-glycopyranosyl)-(1 → →3)-2,4-di-O-benzoyl-α-l-rhamnopyranoside (13) gave crystalline O-(3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-azido-2-deoxy-α-d-glucopyranosyl)-(1 → 3)-2,4-di-O-benzoyl-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl chloride (14), which was also obtained by treatment of methyl O-(3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-azido-2-deoxoy-α-d-glucopyranosyl)-(1 → 3)-2,4-di-O-benzoyl-1-thio-α,l-rhamnopyranoside (12) with chlorine. In contrast to the conversion 12 → 14, which was stereospecific, the reaction of methyl O-(3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-azido-2-deoxy-α-d-glucopyranosyl)-(1 → 3)-(O-2,4-di-O-benzoyl-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl)-(1 → 3)-2,4-di-O-benzoyl-1-thio-α-l-rhamnopyranoside with chlorine gave a mixture of the corresponding α-(16) and β-(17) glycosyl chlorides. Condensation of the mixed chlorides 16 and 17 with 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-d-galactopyranose, followed by reduction-acetylation of the product, gave a fully protected derivative of the tetrasaccharide α-d-Glcp NAc-(1 → 3)-α-l-Rhap-(1 → 3)-α-l-Rhap-(1 → 2)-α-d-Galp.
