Phosphoethanolamine derivatives of the bacterial saccharide l-glycero-d-manno-heptose have been prepared using a phosphoramidite-based coupling reaction at position 4 of a side-chain-protected 2,3-O-orthoester methyl heptoside and at position 3 of a 3,4-diol heptoside, respectively. Global deprotection afforded the corresponding 2-aminoethylphosphodiester derivatives as substrates for crystallographic and binding studies with lectins and antibodies targeting the inner core structure of bacterial lipopolysaccharides.
