Abstract
[(Benzyloxy)(benzyloxycarbonyl)methyl]triphenylphosphonium bromide (8), obtained from glyoxylic acid via a convenient one‐pot procedure, reacted in a Wittig reaction with 4‐O‐benzyl‐2,3:5,6‐di‐O‐isopropylidene‐D‐mannose (7), readily synthesized on a large scale from D‐mannose, to provide the KDO derivative 9. Hydrogenolytic removal of the benzyl groups furnished directly the 4,5:7,8‐di‐O‐isopropylidene protected KDO 11. Its treatment with diazomethane led to the known ester derivative 12α,ß (2:1 anomeric mixture) which could be also obtained by transesterification of 9 and subsequent hydrogenolytic debenzylation.
