Total synthesis of tumor-associated KH-1 antigen core nonasaccharide via photo-induced glycosylation

Abstract

The synthesis of tumor-associated KH-1 antigen core nonasaccharide was achieved. All key glycosidic linkages were efficiently constructed by photo-induced glycosylation. The success of this total synthesis provides an example for the preparation of complex oligosaccharides using light-driven glycosylation reactions.
