    Abstract

    The first example of a gram-scale synthesis of a structurally defined, heparin-related dodecasaccharide is reported. An iterative 14-step process using an iduronate donor disaccharide delivers >1g quantities of the dodecasaccharide sequence [GlcNS-IdoA2S]6-OMe in 15% overall yield from the reducing terminal disaccharide, a 2 orders of magnitude increase in scale for access to synthetic heparanoid dodecasaccharide mimetics. The synthesis also delivers multigram amounts of the protected oligosaccharides from tetra- through to dodecasaccharide. © 2012 American Chemical Society.
