Synthetic Studies toward Mannopeptimycin-E: Synthesis of the O-Linked Tyrosine 1,4-α,α-manno,manno-Pyranosyl Pyranoside

Abstract
The enantioselective synthesis of the C-4‘ acylated 1,4-α,α-manno,manno-disaccharide fragment of mannopeptimycin-E has been achieved in seven steps from d-tyrosine. The route relies upon diastereoselective palladium-catalyzed glycosylation, diastereoselective reduction, and diastereoselective bis-dihydroxylation. The efficiency of the synthesis is demonstrated by the high overall yield (37%) and the preparation of various analogues.
