Synthesis of 6-epi- and 4,6-bisepi-N-acetyl-D-neuraminic acid by aldol condensation
摘要:
Reaction of allofurano-2,3-oxazoline 2 with potassium ditert.butyl oxaloacetate afforded the two diastereomeric compounds 3 and 3a which, after deblocking and alkaline treatment, are converted to the two epimeric sialic acids 5 and 5a.
