Abstract
Structurally modified N-acetylneuraminic acids are important as potent ial substrates or inhibitors of sialic acid-recognising proteins as we ll as probes for the elucidation of sialic acid metabolism. This repor t describes the synthesis of a novel alkylmercury-containing N-acetyln euraminic acid derivative as a potential heavy-atom derivative for use in X-ray crystallographic studies.
