Synthesis of a β-(1→3)-d-Rhamnotetraose by a One-Pot, Multiple Radical Fragmentation

Abstract
A naturally occurring β-(1→3)-d-rhamnotetraose has been constructed under conditions of sequential β-selective mannosylation controlled by the 4,6-O-[1-cyano-2-(2-iodophenyl)-ethylidene] protecting group. The route is concise, proceeding through a late-stage radical deoxygenation that successfully uncovers all four deoxy subunits at once.
