Abstract
The
first synthesis of the repeating unit of <i>S. aureus</i> capsular polysaccharide type 8 is described. The repeating unit
is an unusual trisaccharide sequence of three uncommon sugars, all
connected via 1,2-<i>cis</i> linkages. The synthetic trisaccharide
was equipped with capping methyl groups at the points of propagation
of the polysaccharide sequence
