Abstract
Abstract Different reaction conditions were investigated for the preparation of benzyl 2-acetamido-3,6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranoside (5). Compound 5 on reaction with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-galactopyranosyl bromide afforded the 4-O-substituted 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl derivative which, on O-deacetylation, gave benzyl 2-acetamido-3,6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-4-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (8). The trimethylsilyl (Me3Si) derivative of 8, on treatment with pyridineacetic anhydride-acetic acid for 2 days, gave the disaccharide derivative having an O-acetyl group selectively introduced at the primary position and Me3Si groups at the secondary positions. The latter groups were readily cleaved by treatment with aqueous acetic acid in methanol to afford benzyl 2-acetamido-4-O-(6-O-acetyl-β-D-galactopyranosyl)-3,6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranoside, which on isopropylidenation gave the desired, key intermediate benzyl 2-acetamido-4-O-(6-O-acetyl-3,4-O-isopropylidene-β-D-gal...
