SYNTHESIS OF C-OLIGOSACCHARIDES THAT MIMIC THEIR NATURAL O-ANALOGOUS IMMUNODETERMINANTS IN BINDING TO MONOCLONAL IMMUNOGLOBULINS

We have stereoselectively synthesized the analogues of the methyl β-glycosides of (16)-β-D-galacto-oligosaccharides (up to tetrasaccharide), in which the interglycosidic oxygen atoms are replaced by a methylene group.
