Six major neutral and acidic oligosaccharide‐alditols were prepared from the jelly coat of Mexican axolotl eggs. These compounds were demonstrated to contain 3‐deoxy‐ d ‐ glycero ‐ d ‐ galacto ‐nonulosonic acid (dNloA) and l ‐fucose (Fuc). The structures of the six major oligosaccharides were established as follows:
