Chemical synthesis of a trisaccharide related to the cytotoxic triterpenoid saponins isolated from the bark of Albizia procera has been accomplished through a concise stepwise glycosylation strategy starting from commercially available D ‐xylose, 2‐acetamido‐2‐deoxy‐ D ‐glucose and L ‐arabinose. The target trisaccharide was designed with a 4‐methoxyphenyl (MP) aglycone to extend the scope of conversion to suitable glycoconjugates via selective removal of 4‐methoxyphenyl (MP) group. An unexpected phenomenon, i.e. , the arabinosyl residue assumed the 1 C 4 conformation instead of the typical 4 C 1 form, was observed. Deprotection could restore the normal conformation.
