A facile, virtually one-pot synthesis of the title compound and also some of its derivatives is based on regioselective 2-substitutions of 1,6-anhydro-ß-D-mannopyranose using stannylidene activation. The compounds thus prepared are useful precursors in the synthesis of glycoprotein-type oligosaccharides.
