title: Synthesis and reactivity of a 5-azido analogue of neuraminic acid.
abstract: A peracetylated phenyl 2-thioglycoside (1) of a 5-azido analogue neuraminic acid methyl ester was prepared from a known 5-amino precursor by a diazo transfer reaction. Glycosidation of 1 by alcohols proceeded smoothly in CH3CN to give alpha-sialylated products in good yield.
