“…This compound is supposed to be used for the introduction of an azide group at the C(4) atom with the formation of 4-azido-4-deoxygalactose derivative, 7 a precursor for the synthesis of containing 4-amino-4-deoxygalactose moiety analogs of cyclic oligosaccharides obtained earlier, 8 as well as oligomeric blockers of bacterial adhesins, 9 ion channels, 10,11 and other molecular systems. 12 In addition, glucose derivatives selectively acetylated at the O(6) atom, similar to compound 3, are convenient blocks for the assembly of β-(1→6)-linear 13 and β-(1→3),(1→6)branched 14,15 oligoglucosides corresponding to the fragments of β-glucans of the cell wall of fungi 16,17 of the genera Candida, Aspergillus, and others.…”
