Abstract

A highly convergent strategy has been developed for the synthesis of the two possible saccharide-repeating units of peptidoglycan using TBDMS and PMB ethers as orthogonal protecting groups and a two-directional glycosylation strategy for the efficient assembly of the spacer containing disaccharides.
