Highly alpha-selective synthesis of sialyl spirohydantoins by regiospecific domino condensation/O-->N acyl migration/N-sialylation of carbodiimides with peracetylated sialic acid

J Org Chem. 2010 Jun 4;75(11):3552-7. doi: 10.1021/jo100016k.

Abstract

A novel and efficient process for the synthesis of alpha-sialyl spirohydantoin analogues via one-pot sequential reaction involving various carbodiimides and peracetylated Neu5Ac is reported. BF(3) x Et(2)O mediating intramolecular N-sialylation with excellent alpha-selectivity is first demonstrated.
