Abstract

The synthesis of protected fucosylated derivatives of a Galβ(1→3)GlcNAc and of lactosamine Galβ(1→4)GlcNAc building blocks contained in human milk oligosaccharides is described. Both chemical and enzymatic methods have been exploited for selective protection of the disaccharide. Fucosylation of the appropriate derivatives allowed an easy and relatively short access to different products from common precursors.
