The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Uridine 5′-(2-acetamido-2,6-dideoxy-β-L-galactopyranosyl) diphosphate (uridine 5′-diphospho-N-acetyl-β-L-fucosamine) was synthesized. The key intermediate, 3,4-di-O-acetyl-2-azido-2,6-dideoxy-β-L-galactopyranosyl dibenzyl phosphate, was prepared by a previously unknown reaction of cesium dibenzyl phosphate with the corresponding α-glycosyl nitrate and was then converted into the N-acetylated glycosyl phosphate and nucleoside diphosphate sugars via 3,4-di-O-acetyl-2-amino-2,6-dideoxy-β-L-galactopyranosyl phosphate using mild N-acetylation and O-deacetylation as the last synthetic steps.
