Abstract

Plant arabinogalactans consisting of a b-(1®6)-linked D-galactopyranosyl oligosaccharide backbone with a-(1®2)-L-arabinofuranosyl branches are synthesized based on the 1,2-anhydro galactopyranose technique, orthogonal (methoxydimethyl)methyl (MIP) and (2-naphthyl)methyl (NAP) protection strategy, and selective acylation or glycosylation method. The third method is the most simple and effective and it is also used for the synthesis of arabinogalactans composed of a b-(1®6)-linked D-galactopyranosyl oligosaccharide backbone with a-(1®3)-L-arabinofuranosyl branches.
