Abstract
Comparison of the reactivity of sialyl chlorides and bromides based on N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) and its deaminated analogue (KDN) in reactions with MeOH and i-PrOH without a promoter revealed that the acetoxy group at C-5 in a molecule of a sialic acid glycosyl donor can destabilize the corresponding glycosyl cation making the SN1-like reaction pathway unfavorable. A change to the SN2-like reaction pathway ensures preferential formation of the α-glycoside.
