Abstract

Rapid assembly of starch fragment analogues was achieved using ‘click chemistry’. Specifically, a pentadecasaccharide and two hexadecasaccharide mimics containing two parallel maltoheptaosyl chains linked via [1,2,3]-triazoles to glucose or maltose core were synthesised using Cu(I)-catalyzed [3+2] dipolar cycloaddition of azidosaccharides and 4,6-di-O-propargylated methyl α-d-glucopyranoside and 6,6′- and 4′,6′-di-O-propargylated p-methoxyphenyl β-maltoside.
