Synthesis of aryl sialosides using Mitsunobu conditions

Carbohydr Res. 2004 Dec 27;339(18):2835-40. doi: 10.1016/j.carres.2004.10.003.

Abstract

Mitsunobu conditions for the efficient synthesis of aryl alpha/beta-sialosides were developed. An oxidative work-up procedure was employed to avoid a cumbersome chromatographic separation from the 2,3-dehydro derivative of sialic acid, which is formed as a side-product.
