Abstract
Elucidation of the structure-activity relationships of β-(1,3)-glucans is hampered by the difficulty to isolate the β-(1,3)-glucan polysaccharides from natural sources. We describe a gold(I)-promoted approach for the efficient assembly of a β-(1,3)-glucan hexadecasaccharide via the orthogonal and consecutive activation of thioglycosides and glucosyl ortho-hexynylbenzoates in a highly convergent manner. The synthetic hexadecasaccharide serves as the basis for further evaluation of their biological functions.
