A process for the preparation of 6-O-acetyl-2-azido-3,4-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose

摘要

The invention relates to a process for the preparation of 6-O-acetyl-2-azido-3,4-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose, which process comprises reaction of 1,6-anhydro-2-azido-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose with benzyl bromide in acetonitrile in the presence of solid sodium hydroxide to form 1,6-anhydro-2-azido-3,4-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose; subsequent reaction of 1,6-anhydro-2-azido-3,4-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose with acetic anhydride in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid to form 1,6-di-O-acetyl-2-azido-3,4-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose; and treatment of 1,6-di-O-acetyl-2-azido-3,4-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose with piperidine in THF.;6-0-Acetyl-2-azido-3,4-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose is useful as a building block for synthesis of glucosamine oligosaccharides.
