title: N-trifluoroacetyl sialyl phosphite donors for the synthesis of alpha(2 --> 9) oligosialic acids.
abstract: [reaction: see text] A new method for the synthesis of alpha(2 --> 9) oligosialic acids is developed using phosphite sialyl donors that are protected with a C-5 N-trifluoroacetyl (NHTFA) substituent. Compared with conventional donors, these donors gave a higher degree of alpha-anomeric selectivity during glycosidic bond formation and better yields during iterative sialylation in the synthesis of oligosialic acids.
