Starting from L-rhamnose, benzyl 2,4-di-O-benzyl-6-deoxy-α-L-talopyranoside (7) was prepared by hydrogenolysis of a dioxolane-type benzylidene acetal and used as the aglycon to prepare 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-6-D-glucopyranosyl-(1–3)-6-deoxy-L-talose (13) and the title trisacchafide (20). Due to fast interconvirsion between the α-, β- -pyranose/furanose forms at the reducing end of the molecule in aqueous solutions, the di- and trisaccharides occur as mixtures of four isomers all in significant concentration. By two-dimensional (20) methods, the proton (400) and carbon (100 MHz) NMR spectra of the individual tri-saccharide isomers were completely assigned and interpreted in terms of stereochemistry of the 6-deoxy-L-talose residue.
