The first total synthesis of a major component of marine glycolipid vesparioside B ( Scheme 1 , 1, R1 = n-C22H45, R2 = n-C14H29) has been accomplished through a convergent [4 + 3] coupling strategy. Key steps included stereoselective installment of a set of challenging 1,2-cis-glycoside bonds. A 2-quinolinecarbonyl-assisted α-galactosylation and a novel β-arabinosylation were developed, respectively, to synthesize the α-galactofuranosidic and the β-arabinopyranosidic linkages. Furthermore, a 4,6-O-benzylidene-controlled α-galactopyranosylation reaction allowed the efficient connection of the left tetrasaccharide donor 2 with the right disaccharide lipid acceptor 3, hence leading to the total synthesis of 1.
