A general approach to the asymmetric syntheses of HETEs in both enantiomeric forms was developed. The syntheses of 8(S)-, 9(S)-, 11(S)- and 12(S)-HETE methyl esters, starting from D-arabinose, were accomplished. / A practical approach to the solution synthesis of fragments from Haemophilus influenzae type b capsular polymer was established, which opens a route to the development of a new vaccine against meningitis. The major aspects of this approach, stereocontrolled glycosidation, selective protection and deprotection, and efficient phosphorylation were detailed. The normal solution syntheses of the mono-, di- and tetrasaccharides were accomplished. / A new class of spacer for the linkage of the oligosaccharide with a protein was introduced. The spacer and the spacer-linked tetrasaccharide were prepared.
