Convergent synthesis of an inner core GPI of sperm CD52

An inner core of the GPI anchor of sperm CD52 antigens was synthesized by a highly convergent process using specially modified inositol, glucosamine and phospholipid as key building blocks. This paper also presents a new and efficient procedure to prepare 1,2,6-differentiated derivatives of inositol for GPI syntheses.
