RESUMEN
An α(1,2)-linked oligomannoside derivative having a free C-2 hydroxyl group and a C-3 pivaloyl group was synthesized from a thiophenyl mannose derivative 1 using a one-pot self-condensation and applying a α-stereoselective procedure. The mannosylation exclusively generated α-mannoside linkages. The observed α-directing effect was rationalized by the remote participation of the pivaloyl group in C-3 position. The polymerization degree was controlled by the promoter amount providing the mannobiose derivative as a major product. Applying this method eliminated many synthetic steps. The α(1,2)-linked oligomannoside derivatives, which are key intermediates for the synthesis of oligomannose type N-glycans for glycoproteins, were easily prepared.
