One-Pot Strategies for the Synthesis of the Tetrasaccharide Linkage Region of Proteoglycans

A linker-attached tetrasaccharide corresponding to the linkage region of proteoglycans was synthesized via one-pot procedures from the silylated monosaccharide derivatives. Regioselective one-pot protection protocols were applied in generating the requisite monosaccharide building blocks whereas stereoselective one-pot glycosylation approaches were utilized to assemble the tetrasaccharide skeleton.
