Synthesis of α-d-glucosyl substituted methyl glycosides of 3-deoxy-α-d-manno- and d-glycero-α-d-talo-oct-2-ulosonic acid (Kdo/Ko) corresponding to inner core fragments of Acinetobacter lipopolysaccharide

- Synthesis of Acinetobacter LPS fragments with orthogonal protecting pattern.
- First synthesis of Ko-glycosides substituted at position 5.
- α-Selective glucosylation using benzylidene trifluoroacetimidate donor.
- Regioselective phosphorylation at C-6 of a glucosyl substituent.
