A. Kuboki et al., A FACILE ACCESS TO ARYL ALPHA-SIALOSIDES - THE COMBINATION OF A VOLATILE AMINE BASE AND ACETONITRILE IN GLYCOSIDATION OF SIALOSYL CHLORIDES, Synlett, (5), 1998, pp. 479
We have succeeded in achieving a facile access to 4-nitrophenyl and 4-
methylumbelliferyl-alpha-sialosides. To sialosyl chlorides which are f
ully protected with acetyl groups as glycosyl donors, the action of ph
enols with diisopropylethylamine in acetonitrile brought about high yi
eld as well as facile product isolation.
