THE REACTION OF THE PERACETATE METHYL-ESTERS OF N-ACETYLNEURAMINIC ACID (NEU5AC), 3-DEOXY-D-GLYCERO-D-GALACTO-2-NONULOSONIC ACID (KDN), AND3-DEOXY-D-MANNO-2-OCTULOSONIC ACID (KDO) WITH TRIMETHYLSILYL TRIFLUOROMETHANESULFONATE
Gb. Kok et al., THE REACTION OF THE PERACETATE METHYL-ESTERS OF N-ACETYLNEURAMINIC ACID (NEU5AC), 3-DEOXY-D-GLYCERO-D-GALACTO-2-NONULOSONIC ACID (KDN), AND3-DEOXY-D-MANNO-2-OCTULOSONIC ACID (KDO) WITH TRIMETHYLSILYL TRIFLUOROMETHANESULFONATE, Carbohydrate research, 289, 1996, pp. 67-75
The reaction of the peracetate methyl esters of N-acetylneuraminic aci
d (Neu5Ac), 3-deoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-2-nonulosonic acid(Kdn), and 3
-deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonic acid (Kdo) with trimethylsilyl trifluorom
ethanesulfonate (CF(3)SO(3)SiMe(3)) has been reinvestigated. We have f
ound that the choice of solvent, reaction temperature, and reaction ti
me dramatically influence the outcome of this reaction. (C) 1996 Elsev
