Total synthesis of the pentasaccharide repeating unit of the OPS from Halomonas ventosae RU5S2EL is accomplished through a [3+2] block strategy. Picoloyl-induced hydrogen-bond-assisted aglycon delivery (HAD) is used for two consecutive 1,2-cis-L-rhamnosylations, and remote participation is used for α-selective glucosylation. The choice of 2aminoethyl glycoside at the reducing end is opted for, leaving the scope for further glycoconjugate formation without hampering the reducing-end stereochemistry.
