Abstract
A series of 3-β-acetamidopropyl oligo-β-(1→6)-glucosamines consisting of 5, 7, 9 and 11 glucosamine residues, and a series of corresponding per-N-acetylated derivatives were synthesized using a convergent blockwise approach. These compounds represent fragments of a bacterial surface polysaccharide produced by numerous bacterial pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus, and will be used as models for its biochemical and immunological properties.
