The Synthesis of the 3′- and 3′′′-Monodeoxygenated Derivatives of β-Maltosyl-(1→4)-Trehalose

First total synthesis of trehalose containing tetrasaccharides from Mycobacterium smegmatis

Total synthesis of three important trehalose containing tetrasaccharides isolated fromMycobacterium smegmatisis reported for the first time, using regioselective opening of benzylidene acetals and stereoselective glycosylations as key steps.
