“…The following oligosaccharides were synthesized as described: GlcNAcPl-3GalNAca-Bn and GlcNAcBl-6GalNAca-Bn, Abbas et al (198 1); GlcNAc/31-6(Gal~l-3)GalNAca-Bn, Piscorz et 41. et a1 (1988); GlcNAcpl-3Galp-M, Kohata et al (1984); Mana6(Mana3)Manfl4GIcNAc, Paulsen and Lebuhn (1983); G~INAC~-(CH~),NHCO(CH~)~COOCH~, Paulsen et al (1982); 3-deoxy-, 4-deoxy-, and 6-deoxy-GalNAca-Bn, 3-0-ethylGalNAm-Bn, 3-0-propyl-GalNAca-Bn, 3-0-methyl-GalNAccu-Bn, 3-0-(2.3-epoxy)propyI-GalNAca-Bn, 6-0-(2,3-epoxy)propylGalNAca-Bn, 6-0-(4,5-epoxy)pentyI-GalNAm-Bn, 6-0-(4,4-azo)-pentyl-GalNAca-Bn, and 3-0-acetyl-GalNAca-Bn (V. Rutz, in preparation). 6-Fluoro-GalNAca-Bn was prepared by treatment of benzyl2-acetamido-2-deoxy-3,4-O-isopropylidene-a-~-galactopyranoside with diethylaminosulfur trifluoride in diethyleneglycol dimethylether to give benzyl2-acetamido-2,6-dideoxy-6-fluoro-3,4-0-isopropylidene-a-D-galactopyranoside (Sharma et al 1987).…”
