Notes:
The synthesis of 5-acetamido-2,6-anhydro-3,5-dideoxy-D- erythro-L-manno-nonic acid (3b, 7,8-epi2-2-d-2-HeqNeu5Ac) and sodium 5-acetamido-2,6-anhydro-3,5-dideoxy-L-threo-L-manno-nonate (6b, 8-epi-2-d-2-Heq-Neu5Ac) could be realized by transformation of 5-acetamido-3,5-dideoxy-L-glycero-L-altro-2-nonulopyranosonic acid (2a, 7,8-bis-epi-Neu5Ac) and 5-acetamido-3,5-dideoxy-3-L-glycero-D-galacto-2-nonulosonic acid (5a, 8-epi-Neu5Ac) into the corresponding peracetylated 2-chloro derivatives and subsequent catalytic hydrogenation. As this procedure could not be applied to the synthesis of the 7-epi, 7-deoxy and 8-deoxy derivatives a new strategy, which started with the methyl 5-acetamido-2,6-anhydro-3,5-dideoxy-D-erythro-L-manno-nonoate (1e), was designed. For this purpose, a gram-scale preparation of 1e was developed. Transformation of protecting groups and radical reduction of selectively introduced tolylthiocarbonate groups led to the corresponding 5-acetamido-2,6-anhydro-3,5,7-trideoxy-D-glycero-L-manno-nonoic acid (12b, 2,7-d2-2Heq-Neu5Ac) and sodium 5-acetamido-2,6-anhydro-3,5,8-trideoxy-D-glycero-L-manno-nonate (11b, 2,8-d2-2Heq-Neu5Ac). An oxidation - reduction sequence yielded 5-acetamido-2,6-anhydro-3,5-dideoxy-D-threo-L-manno-nonoic acid (9c, 2d-2Heq-7-epi-Neu5Ac). Also the sialic acid analog 6b could be prepared according to this newly designed strategy.
