Synthesis of Oxaphosphinane-Based Pseudodisaccharides

The synthesis of pseudodisaccharides based on an oxaphosphinane heterocycle is described. Disaccharide mimetics 5 and 6 were readily obtained through glycosylation of a hydroxy group with appropriately protected furanosyl or pyranosyl carbohydrates using a trichloroacetamidate coupling strategy. Selective or complete deprotection then produced the chiral pseudodisaccharides in good yields.
