Selectivepivaloylation of 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose, its methyl alpha- and beta-glycosides, and the methyl alpha-glycoside of N-acetyl-D-muramic acid under various conditions has been studied. The structures of the products were established by 1H-n.m.r. spectroscopy and acetylation. The orders of acylation, HO-6 greater than HO-3 greater than HO-1 greater than HO-4 for 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose

2-Acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactose (D-GalNAc) is an important monosaccharide widely distributed in nature. However, unlike its 4-epimer, the 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose (D-GlcNAc), D-GalNAc is very expensive to obtain from commercial sources. Herein we report an efficient transformation that allows for the conversion of D-GlcNAc to a D-GalNAc derivative 7 in three steps and in 58.4-75% overall yields. The process was carried out on a greater than 20-g scale without the need of chromatography. The versatility of compound 7 was demonstrated by the synthesis of several useful monosaccharides and thiodisaccharides containing a D-GalNAc residue. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
