A general method for the construction of disaccharides containing D-septanosyl residues from acyclic intermediates has been developed. The synthesis of an analogue of N-acetyl d-lactosamine with a d-galactoseptanosyl unit has also been accomplished with the aim of determining the behaviour of this compound as a substrate for several glycosyltransferases.
