A disaccharide scaffold based on tunicamycin was synthesized from D-uridine
and L-mannose. The key step in disaccharide assembly was a B-mannosylation
performed using Crich's modification of the sulfoxide glycosylation method
. The scaffold described contains two orthogonal derivatization sites and w
ill be used in the search for novel biologically active compounds. (C) 2000
