“…2‐(Benzyloxycarbonylamino)ethyl 3‐ O ‐(3‐Phthalimidopropyl)‐α‐ d ‐mannopyranoside (19): To a solution of the benzyloxycarbonyl‐protected mannoside 18
17 (3.29 g, 9.19 mmol) in anhydrous methanol (90 mL), dibutyltin oxide (2.40 g, 9.65 mmol) was added, and the solution was heated to reflux for 2 h. The solvent was evaporated, and the crude product was disolved in anhydrous N , N ‐dimethylformamide (90 mL). N ‐(3‐Bromopropyl)phthalimide (9.12 g, 34.0 mmol) and cesium fluoride (1.40 g, 9.19 mmol) were added, and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 d. The solvent was then evaporated, and purification of the crude product by column chromatography (CH 2 Cl 2 /EtOAc/MeOH, 10:5:1 → 5:5:1) gave 19 (1.87 g, 3.44 mmol, 37 %) as colorless foam.…”
