Abstract

Well-defined fragments of hyaluronic acid (HA) have been obtained through a fully automated solid-phase oligosaccharide synthesis. Disaccharide building blocks, featuring a disarmed glucuronic acid donor moiety and a di-tert-butylsilylidene-protected glucosamine part, were used in the rapid and efficient assembly of HA fragments up to the pentadecamer level, equipped with a conjugation-ready anomeric allyl function.
