Abstract

Two regioisomeric sialylated tetrasaccharides found in goat milk have been obtained in excellent yield by a concise synthesis using a common disaccharide intermediate. Regioselective glycosylations and a minimal number of protecting-group manipulations are the key features of this synthetic strategy.
