✦ Synopsis
Sialic acids',* are well known as constituents of glycoproteins and glycolipids of cell membranes, and they play a role in biological recognition.
It is also known that naturally occurring sialo compounds contain sialic acids in a-glycosidic linkage, except for CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid. Therefore, a facile regio-and a-selective glycoside synthesis of N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuSAc) is critically important, in order to investigate the structure-function relationships of such sialoglycoconjugates as glycoproteins and glycolipids. Glycosidation of methyl (5-acetamido-4,7,8,9-tetra-O-acetyl-3,5-dideoxy-Dglycero-p-D-g&c&-2-nonulopyranosyl chloride)onate3 as the glycosyl donor with sugar derivatives usually gives a mixture of (Y-and P-glycosides.
When reacting with secondary hydroxyl groups of sugar derivatives, this donor affords the expected cr-glycosides in very low yields.
Recently, new effort+ have been made at obtaining mainly a-glycosides,

The N-glycopeptides alpha-Glc-(1----Asn and alpha-Glc-(1----6)-beta-Glc- (1----6)-alpha-Glc-(1----Asn have been synthesized efficiently from pent-4-enyl D-glucopyranoside derivatives. The methodology illustrates (a) a novel route for formation of the N-alpha-D-glucosyl-asparagine link, and (b) stere
Methyl gfycopyranosides reacted with dicthylamin~sulfur trifluoride (DAST) in the absence of solvent to yield methyl dideoxy-difluoro and deoxy-fluoro glycopyranosides. Methyl n-D-glycopyranosides produced 6-deoxy-6-fluoro-and 4,6-dideoxy-4,6-ditluoro derivatives with Walden inversion at C-4. Methyl
A new synthesis of N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuSAc; 28) via the aldehyde 10 is described. The aldehyde 10 was obtained from N-acetyl-o-glucosamine (11; 5 steps, overall yield ca. 6 %) or from o-glucono-1,s-lactone (17; 6 steps, overall yield ra. 57%). Thus, on the one hand, N-acetyl-D-mannosamine (1
