Abstract
Abstract d -Glucuronic acid glycals can be efficiently synthesized from diacetone glucose or tri- O -acetyl glycal and can be transformed into d -glucuronic acid donors and acceptors in high yields. Base catalyzed epimerization of d -glucuronic acid glycals provides access to the corresponding l -iduronic acid glycals. Both d -glucuronic and l -iduronic acid glycals were transformed into glycosylating agents for use in the synthesis of glycosaminoglycan oligosaccharides.
