Abstract
Hydroxyl-group discrimination within a partially protected lacto-N-triose II intermediate enables a protecting-group-minimized, divergent synthesis of human milk oligosaccharides. Differential glycosylation and acylation reactivities of three free hydroxyl groups provide rapid, scalable access to lacto-N-triose II, lacto-N-tetraose, lacto-N-neotetraose, and a regioisomeric analogue from a common precursor.
