title: Glucuronic acid-based ulosyl donors for introducing alpha-D-GlcA and beta-D-ManA units.
abstract: Practical protocols are described for a five-step conversion of D-glucuronolactone into alpha-D-arabino-2-ketoglucuronyl bromides, which due to their alpha-selective or beta-specific glycosidation, and gluco- or manno-specific carbonyl reductions of the glucurono-2-ulosides formed, are expedient indirect donor substrates for the efficient introduction of alpha-D-GlcA or beta-D-ManA residues.
