Abstract
A new approach to the synthesis of anomeric sulfur analogues of CMP-Neu5Ac containing alkane or arene linkage 1a-d is described. The procedure involves the high β-stereoselectivity in sialylation of the peracetylated sialic acid methyl ester 4 with mercaptoalkyl (aryl) trichloroacetate 5a-d, followed by selective deprotection of the trichloroacetyl group to the corresponding hydroxyalkyl and hydroxyaryl thioglycosides 2a-d. Subsequent O-phosphitylation of 2a-d with respective 3a or 3c, followed by oxidation and deprotection led to the isolation of the target compounds 1a-d in good yields.
Key words
sialylation - hydroxyalkyl (aryl) thioglycosides - selective deprotection - sialyltransferase

Condensation of the 2-chlorosialic acid with the 2-mercaptoethyl benzoate gave the thioglycoside in low yield. The products were contaminated with the sialic acid 2,3-elimination product, see:

Cohen SB.Halcomb RL. J. Org. Chem. 2000, 65: 6145 - The configuration of 6a-d was determined by measuring the chemical shifts of H3eq and H4. The formation of β-anomer 6a caused an upfield shift of H3eq to δ = 2.52 ppm while the chemical shift of H3eq of α-anomer 6a remained δ = 2.72 ppm. In addition, H4 is shifted in the other direction. Thus H4 in the β-anomer 6a occurs at δ = 5.41 ppm in contrast to the chemical shift of α-anomer at δ = 4.84 ppm. Several reports demonstrated that H3eq of a β-linked alkyl thioglycoside of sialic acid diplayed a signal upfield relative to that of the corresponding α-anomer, see:
