An alpha-glycoside of the tetrasaccharide sequence β-Ant-(1→3)-α-L-Rhap-(1→3)-α-L-Rhap-(1→2)-α-L-Rhap whose aglycon allows conjugation to suitable carriers was synthesized. The NMR characteristics of the compound are virtually identical with those of the α-anomer of the tetrasaccharide isolated from the major glycoprotein of the Bacillus anthracis exosporium. Thus, the correct structure of the natural product has been proven by chemical synthesis.
