✦ 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,

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
