Abstract

A regioselective protection of hydroxyl groups in the methyl ester-methyl α-glycoside derivative of KDN was demonstrated. Isopropylidenation of methyl (methyl 3-deoxy-α-D-glycero-D-galacto-2-nonulopyranosid)onate (1) gave mono-(8, 9) and di-(5, 7: 8, 9) O-isopropylidene derivatives. Benzoylation of methyl (methyl 3-deoxy-8, 9-O-isopropylidene-α-D-glycero-D-galacto-2-nonulopyranosid)onate (7) gave di-(4, 5) and tri-(4, 5, 7) O-benzoates. Through these reactions, it was found that the reactivity of the hydroxyl groups was different from that of methyl β-glycoside of KDN. Oxidation products of C-4 and C-7 hydroxyl groups (6 and 11) were synthesized from these compounds.
