Preparation of 2-(2′- N -Acetylacetamido)-2′-deoxy-3′,4′,6′-tri- O -acetyl-β- d-glucopyranosyl)-1,3-bis(phenylmethyl)imidazolidine ( 4).
To a solution of 2 (0.429 g, 1 mmol) in a mixture of MeCN (1.9 mL) and cyclohexane (1.6 mL) was added successively pyridine (0.4 mL, 5 mmol, 5 equiv), TMSCl (0.64 mL,
5 mmol, 5 equiv) and NaI (0.74 g, 5 mmol, 5 equiv). After stirring overnight at 70 °C, the reaction mixture was cooled to r.t. and was poured into sat. aq NaHCO₃ (20 mL). The aqueous phase was extracted with EtOAc (3 × 20 mL) and the combined organic layers were washed with brine (2 × 20 mL). The organic phase was then dried (Na₂SO₄), filtered and concentrated to afford crude enoxysilane, which was used without further purification. To this crude residue was added a solution of dimethyldioxirane (30 mL, 0.1 M in acetone, 3 equiv). The solution was stirred for 2 h at r.t. and concentrated. The residue was then diluted in a mixture of THF (3 mL) and H₂O (1.5 mL) and sodium metaperiodate (0.64 g, 3 mmol, 3 equiv) was added. After stirring for 3 h at r.t., a sat. aq NaHCO₃ was added until pH = 7. After addition of brine (10 mL), the aqueous phase was extracted with EtOAc (3 × 10 mL). The combined organic phases were washed with brine (2 × 10 mL), dried (Na₂SO₄), filtered and concentrated. Toluene (10 mL), N,N-dibenzylethylene-diamine (0.25 mL, 1.05 mmol, 1.05 equiv) and glacial AcOH (2 drops) were then added to the crude aldehyde. The solution was immediately concentrated under reduced pressure and toluene was added and evaporated twice (2 × 10 mL).

Preparation of (1 R )- and (1 S )-1-(2′- N -Acetyl)-2′-deoxy-3′,4′,6′-tri- O -acetyl-β- d-glucopyranosyl)-1-acetoxy-1-but-3-ene ( 11).
To a solution of the aminal 5 (0.32 mmol, 200 mg) in MeOH (3 mL) was added sodium methoxide (2 mg). After stirring for 1 h at r.t. MeOH was evaporated. THF (1.6 mL), H₂O (1.6 mL) and Dowex-50 (H⁺) resin (400 mg) were added. After stirring for 1 h at r.t., the suspension was filtered, concentrated and coevaporated with toluene (3 × 10 mL). The residue was dissolved in a 1:1 mixture of THF-H₂O (3.2 mL) and allyl bromide (0.64 mmol, 55 mL) and In (0.96 mmol, 110 mg) were added. After stirring for 12 h at r.t., the suspension was filtered over Celite^®. After washing with EtOH and evaporation of the solvents under reduced pressure, the residue was dissolved in a 2:1 mixture of pyridine and Ac₂O (1.5 mL). After stirring for 12 h at r.t., the reaction mixture was concentrated and coevaporated with toluene. Then, EtOAc (15 mL) was added and the mixture was washed with aq HCl (0.1 N, 5 mL) then with brine (10 mL). The organic phase was dried (Na₂SO₄) and concentrated. The crude residue was purified by flash chromatography (PE-EtOAc = 3:7 to 2:8) to afford 11 as a mixture of two diastereomers (87% from 5).
