description

Abstract The selective synthesis of β- d -mannosides was achieved by first synthesizing β- d -glucosides that carry a N -phenylcarbamoyl protecting group at O-3. These derivatives were transformed into the corresponding β- d -mannosides by intramolecular nucleophilic substitution with inversion of configuration at C-2, the O -triflyl group being the leaving group. Subsequent intramolecular attack of the neighboring carbamoyl group resulted in the formation of the 2,3-carbonate of the desired β d -mannoside.
