Abstract

The reaction of tert-butyl (4, 5, 7, 8-tetra-O-acetyl-3-deoxy-α-d-manno-2-octulopyranosyl chloride) onate donor 7 with the 6-formylgalactopyranoside acceptor 4 in the presence of SmI2 provided only the KDO α-C-disaccharide 8. The bulky tert-butyl ester in the donor was used to reverse the stereochemical outcome of C-glycosylation, stereoselectively forming the α-" C"-disaccharide of KDO.
