    Abstract

    The phosphorylated branched heptasaccharide beta-D-Galp-(1-->4)-alpha-D-Manp-(1-PO3H-6)-[beta-D-Glcp-(1-->3)]-beta-D-Galp-(1-->4)-alpha-D-Manp-(1-PO3H-6)-beta-D-Galp-(1-->4)-alpha-D-Manp-1-PO3H-O[CH2](8)CH=CH2, which is a fragment of the phosphoglycan portion of Leishmania mexicana phosphoglycan and proteophosphoglycan, has been synthesized using the thioglycoside and Helferich methods for the glycosylations and the glycosyl hydrogenphosphonate method for the successive introduction of the disaccharide phosphate and trisaccharide phosphate blocks.
