β¦ Synopsis
Thl: perawtylstcd mcthyl cstcr dcrivativcs of 7-rpi-i-NeuSAc (ta), H-epi-NeuSAc (3 a), and 7.8-bis-epi-NcuSAc (4 a) wcrc transformed hy trimcihylsilyl trifluoromethanesulronale into the corrcsponding 2-cieoxy-2,3-didehydro derivatives 2b-4 b. As minor products the 4.5-osazolino derivatives 5 b rind 6 b are formed. Hydrolysis of 2 b-4b yields the frce acids 7-epCNeuSAc2cne (2e), &pi-NcuShc2ene (3c). and 7.8-bis-epi-Neu5Ac2cnc (4c). These show significantly diffcrcnt inhibitory influcnces on the hydrolysis of 4-mcthylumbcll~ery I-u-NcuSAc by Vibrio choferm sialidase. This was the reason for esiablishing the conformation of 2c-4c and of the wcli-known 2-dcoxy-2.3-didehydro-N-acc~ylneuramioic acid (NeuMcZcnc) ( 1 ~) . A signillcant relationship between [he clwacicristic prohtes of the u-side of lc-4c and thc inhence an the ciizyrnc rcaclion was round.

## Abstract The peracetylated methyl ester 1 of Nβacetylneuraminic acid was transformed into the oxazoline derivative 2, which was hydrogenated with Pd/C/H~2~ to give the 4βdeoxyβNeu5Ac2en derivative 3. Acid cleavage of the oxazoline 2 by trifluoroacetic acid (THF) gave the 4βepiβNeu5Ac2en derivati
