Abstract
Methyl 4,5,7,8,9-penta-O-acetyl-2,6-anhydro-3-deoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-enonate (5) was synthesized from KDN methyl ester 2 with a catalytic amount of concentrated sulfuric acid in acetic anhydride, or from 2-chloro-KDN methyl ester 4 with DBU in good yield. Hydrogenation of 4 and 5 with 10% Pd-C gave 2-deoxy-2-Hax-KDN 8 and 2-deoxy-2-Heq-KDN derivative 11 in high yield, respectively. The structures of these compounds were elucidated from the MS, elemental analysis, 1H NMR and 13C NMR data.
