Abstract

Condensation of 4-methyl-7-thiocoumarin sodium salt with methyl (2), methyl (11), and methyl (14) under Williamson reaction conditions gave the corresponding a-glycosides in good yields. Deprotection of these a-glycosides gave three new fluorogenic substrates, the 4-methylcoumarin-7-yl S-glycosides of N-acetylneuraminic acid, N-glycolylneuraminic acid, and acid (KDN). Furthermore, we have developed a facile method for preparation of benzyl acid (7), a key intermediate for the synthesis of N-glycolylneuraminic acid. © 1995, The Pharmaceutical Society of Japan.
