title: Synthesis of alpha-glucuronic acid and amide derivatives in the presence of a participating 2-acyl protecting group.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Participating acyl groups located at C-2 in glucosyl and related donors generally promote formation of 1,2-trans-glycosides. Reactions of some glucuronic acid donors with TMSN(3)/SnCl(4) or ROH/SnCl(4) gave only the 1,2-cis-glycoside. The stereoselectivity is consistent with participation of the C-6 group. The methodology was used for the synthesis of a Kdn2en mimetic with the alpha-configuration.
