4. An iterative approach to oligosaccharide synthesis involves the use of protected glycals (sugars with C1-C2 double bond) as shown below. The product from the reaction of the first glycal with DMDO under anhydrous conditions is treated with another suitably-protected glycal to form a disaccharide glycal, and the process can be repeated to form a trisaccharide glycal, and so on...
