We describe new derivatives of pentaerythritol suitable for the synthesis of polyantennary cluster glycolipids with different headgroups. Key substance is a pentaerythritol with one hydrophobic moiety as lipophilic anchor, an unprotected primary hydroxyl group and two differently protected hydroxyl groups.
