Suitably protected mono- and di-saccharide residues associated with the glucuronic acid-containing repeat unit related to pentosan polysulfate have been prepared. The stereo-controlled coupling, using trichloroacetimidate chemistry, of certain of these is also described and the structure of a disaccharide so-formed has been confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis.
