Two oligosaccharides, α-d-Manp-(1→2)-α-d-Manp-(1→2)-α-d-Manp-(1→6)-α-d-Manp-(1→4)-α-d-GlcpNAc (I) and α-d-Manp-(1→3)-α-d-Manp-(1→2)-α-d-Manp-(1→2)-α-d-Manp-(1→6)-α-d-Manp-(1→4)-α-d-GlcpNAc (II), the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor glycans from S. cerevesiae and A. fumigatus were synthesized as their methyl glycosides in a regio- and stereoselective manner. The pentasaccharide I was obtained from 6-O-selective glycosylation of methyl 2,3-di-O-benzoyl-α-d-mannopyranosyl-(1→4)-2-acetamido-3,6-di-O-benzoyl-2-deoxy-α-d-glucopyranoside (8) with 2-O-acetyl-3,4,6-tri-O-benzoyl-α-d-mannopyranosyl-(1→2)-3,4,6-tri-O-benzoyl-α-d-mannopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate (9), followed by benzoylation, deacetylation, and mannosylation, and then by deprotection. The hexasaccharide (II) was obtained via condensation of allyl 3,4,6-tri-O-benzoyl-α-d-mannopyranosyl-(1→2)-3,4,6-tri-O-benzoyl-α-d-mannopyranoside (17) with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzoyl-α-d-mannopyranosyl-(1→3)-2,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-α-d-mannopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate (16), followed by deallylation, trichloroacetimidation, and coupling with acceptor (8), and finally by deprotection.
