The first synthesis of the pentasaccharide fragment of the angucycline antibiotic saquayamycin Z is described. By using our sulfonyl chloride mediated reagent controlled dehydrative glycosylation, we are able to assemble the glycosidic linkages with high levels of anomeric selectivity. The total synthesis was completed in 25 total steps, and in 2.5% overall yield with a longest linear sequence of 15 steps.
