Pivaloylation of maltose gave, in satisfactory yield, 1,2,6,2 32;,3 32;,4 32;,6 32;-hepta-O-pivaloyl-3b2;-maltose which was converted to the 3-deoxygenated analogue in a Barton-McCombie reaction. This compound was used directly in a trimethylsilyl triflate-mediated glycosylation reaction with 2,3,6-tri-O-benzyl-3b1;--glucopyranosyl 2,3-di-O-benzyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-3b1;--glucopyranoside to give the corresponding maltosyl-(1 → 4)-3b1;,3b1;-trehalose derivative. After deprotection, the monodeoxygenated tetrasaccharide was sulfated; in the reaction product, one compound fully sulfated at the outer pyranose rings predominated. © 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
