Synthesis of Bradyrhizose Oligosaccharides Relevant to the Bradyrhizobium O‐Antigen

The unique α‐(1→7)‐bradyrhizoside linkages are constructed for the first time via judicious choice of the glycosylation partners and conditions, thus tetra‐ and penta‐bradyrhizosides relevant to the peculiar O‐antigen of Bradyrhizobium are synthesized, which are shown to adopt the defined right‐handed helical conformations and to be unable to induce innate immune responses in plants.
