• antigen) linked to β3-homo-serine are known. Despite their importance as specific tumour antigens, conjugates of Fmoc-β3hSer and Fmoc-β3hThr carrying larger TACA structures such as the Thomsen–Friedenreich antigen (TF) or its sialylated variants (α2-6sTF and α2-3sTF) have not been reported to date.
