T. Kai et al., SYNTHESIS OF SIALIC-ACID ANALOGS WITH THE OXIME GROUP AT C-4 OR C-5 OF KDN, Journal of carbohydrate chemistry, 16(4-5), 1997, pp. 521-532
The readily available methyl (methyl 3-deoxy-5,8:7, 9-di-O-isopropylid
ene-beta-D-glycero-D-galacto-2 -nonulopyranosid)onate (7) was converte
d in five synthetic steps into methyl (methyl 4-acetamido-3, eoxy-beta
-D-glycero-D-talo-2-nonulopyranosid)onate (11). Selective protection o
f the C-4, C-7, C-8 and C-9 hydroxy groups of methyl (methyl 3-deoxy-8
, 9-O-isopropylidene-beta-D-glycero-D-galacto-2 -nonulpyranosid)onate
(2) followed by oxidation of the C-5 hydroxy group and then its oximin
ation gave 5-hydroxyimino derivatives(l5 and 16).
