Synthesis of a Tetrasaccharide Glycosyl Glycerol. Precursor to Glycolipids of Meiothermus taiwanensis ATCC BAA-400

Synthesis of a tetrasaccharide glycosyl glycerol, the core structure of glycoglycerolipid from Meiothermus taiwanensis ATCC BAA-400, was described. A one-pot glycosylation with three components was employed as a key step.
