The solid-phase synthesis of allosamidin was investigated. After two N-benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz)-protected trichloroacetimidate donors were synthesized, the solid-phase synthesis was performed using polystyrene as support and an o-nitrobenzyl ether tether as linker. The target allosamidin was efficiently obtained by iterative glycosylation reactions, catalytic hydrogenation, acetylation, deacetylation, and photolysis.
