Abstract: Step-by-step synthesis of linear (1–6)-linked methyl tetra(α-D-mannopyranosyl phosphate)-α-D-mannopyranoside was developed with the use of the hydrogenphospho-nate method. Methyl 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-α-D-mannopyranoside served as first acceptor of the oligo(mannosyl phosphate) chain. Elongation cycle included coupling of 2,3,4-tri-O-benzoyl-6-O-dimethoxytrityl-a-D-mannopyranosyl H-phosphonate and a hydro-xyl component in the presence of Me3CCOCl followed by oxidation and detritylation. 2,3,4,6-Tetra-O-benzoyl-α-D-mannopyranosyl H-phosphonate was employed in the final step. After complete deprotection the title oligomer was isolated in 30% overall yield.
