Synthesis of a Model Linear Mannohexaose for the Backbone Structure of Fruit Body Polysaccharide of Tremella fuciformis and Dictyophora indusiata FISCH

Abstract

Synthesis of linear D-manno-oligosaccharides, O-α-D-Man-{(1→3)-O-α-D-Man}_n-(1→3)-O-α-D-Man (n=0∼4), which correspond to part of the structure of the cell-wall polysaccharide of Tremella fuciformis and Dictyophora indusiata FISCH, is described.
