Glycosidation of N-acetylneuraminic acid by phase-transfer catalysis in chloroform-aqueous alkali gave several known and some new aryl cY-ketosides in a short reaction time and in good yields. The 4-methylumbelliferyl cu-ketoside, the standard substrate for neuraminidase, was prepared in a yield of

✦ Synopsis
Selenium-substituted carbohydrates are known but rare compounds'. In sialic acid chemistry, they are gaining an increasing interest with regard to their use in stereocontrolled glycosidation reactions.
Ito and Ogawaz4 reported a phenylselenosubstituted sialic acid derivative which they used in glycosidation reactions.
They introduced a phenylseleno group at C-3 of sialic acid via the 2,3-dehydrosialic acid derivative. This group at C-3 was used as a stereocontrolling auxiliary for preparing a-ketosides of N-acetylneuraminic acid (1). Also other authors5*6 reported glycosidation reactions with various selenium-substituted carbohydrates. However, up to now, no aryl or alkyl selenoketosides of sialic acids have been described.
We report herein the synthesis of a phenyl a-selenoketoside of N-acetylneuraminic acid (1). Because of the instability of free benzeneselenol, a special method of glycosidation was required. We succeeded in preparing the appropriate ketoside by use of phase-transfer catalysis, which we have already described as a very effective method for preparing aryl' a-ketosides and arylthio a-ketosides' of N-acetylneuraminic acid.
The reaction of 3 with benzeneselenol in the two-phase system, chloroform-O&r aqueous sodium hydroxide, resulted in the peracetylated phenyl selenoglycoside 4 with high stereoselectivity, good yield, and in a very short reaction time. Whereas free selenophenol is very unstable, the ketoside 4 is a stable compound at room temperature. It crystallized easily from ethyl acetate-petrol ether. The a-D configuration of the
