Analogues of Pentasaccharides and Compounds with Anomalous Linking

5 Analogues of Pentasaccharides and Compounds with Anomalous Linking. - The myo-inositolphosphoglycan 24 has been made in the course of work on GPI anchor compounds. Its conformation in solution and biological activities were determined.  

An iterative procedure involving coupling of a p-C-formyl-D-galactoside and a galactoside 6-Wittig reagent has allowed the synthesis of the P (l- 6)-CH2-linked galactopentaose.
