Abstract
Various approaches to the synthesis of per-O-acetylated thioglycosides of N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) containing an unprotected carboxy group starting from the corresponding methyl esters were comparatively studied. One-step demethylation of methyl thioglycoside (LiI, Py, reflux) proceeded inefficiently in contrast to the analogous smooth reaction of phenyl thioglycoside. An indirect route to derivatives with a free carboxy group involving saponification followed by acetylation of hydroxy groups proved to be more efficient for methyl α-thioglycoside of Neu5Ac.
