Synthesis of 6-PEtN-α-D-GalpNAc-(1–>6)-β-D-Galp-(1–>4)-β-D-GlcpNAc-(1–>3)-β-D-Galp-(1–>4)-β-D-Glcp, a Haemophilus influenzae lipopolysacharide structure, and biotin and protein conjugates thereof

• was reduced to an amino group, which was protected as a benzyl carbamate (→ 15, 91%). Removal of the TBDMS group with TBAF then gave the tetrasaccharide acceptor 16 (89%). To obtain complete α-selectivity with 2-azido-galactose donors is not trivial. A 4,6-silyl acetal has been suggested as one way to
