✦ Synopsis
A practical 15-mmol large-scale synthesis of beta-L-fucopyranosyl dicyclohexylammonium phosphate from L-fucose in 63% overall yield was developed. The synthesis took advantage of a neighboring Bz-2 group participating in a Koenigs-Knorr-like glycosylation. The sugar phosphate was transformed into the activated sugar nucleoside, guanosine diphosphate beta-L-fucopyranose, on a gram scale.

## Abstract Fucose is an important component of complex heterooligosaccharides. Here we describe the preparative enzymatic synthesis of ß‐L‐fucose‐1‐phosphate as well as its enzymatic conversion into GDP‐fucose. Fucose (1) was converted into ß‐L‐fucose‐1‐phosphate (2) with fucose kinase (EC 2.7.1.5
