## Abstract The first step in the biosynthesis of neuraminic acid, the “epimerisation” of UDP‐GlcNAc to ManNAc, is catalyzed by UDP‐GlcNAc 2‐epimerase. In this paper we report the synthesis of the __C__‐glycosidic UDP‐GlcNAc analogues **1**−**5** as substrate‐based inhibitors of this enzyme. The fo
