The synthesis of a versatile L-rhamnose monosaccharide synthon is described. This synthon is used in the synthesis of a disaccharide containing the rare sugar, 6-deoxy-L-glucose, linked to the 3-C-hydroxymethyl group of methyl 2,3-O-isopropylidene 3-C-(hydroxymethyl)-beta-D-erythrofuranoside.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D010368	Pectins	High molecular weight polysaccharides present in the cell walls of all plants. Pectins cement cell walls together. They are used as emulsifiers and stabilizers in the food industry. They have been tried for a variety of therapeutic uses including as antidiarrheals, where they are now generally considered ineffective, and in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia.

D004187	Disaccharides	Oligosaccharides containing two monosaccharide units linked by a glycosidic bond.	Disaccharide
D006031	Glycosylation	The synthetic chemistry reaction or enzymatic reaction of adding carbohydrate or glycosyl groups. GLYCOSYLTRANSFERASES carry out the enzymatic glycosylation reactions. The spontaneous, non-enzymatic attachment of reducing sugars to free amino groups in proteins, lipids, or nucleic acids is called GLYCATION (see MAILLARD REACTION).
