Phenyl 2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-1-thio-α-d-mannopyran-oside monohydrate.

In the title compound, C(33)H(34)O(5)S·H(2)O, the mannopyran-oside ring adopts a chair conformation with the 2-α-thio-phenyl group occupying an axial position. One of the pendant benzyl groups is disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.5:0.

Stereoselective glycal fluorophosphorylation: synthesis of ADP-2-fluoroheptose, an inhibitor of the LPS biosynthesis.

Heptosides are found in important bacterial glycolipids such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS), the biosynthesis of which is targeted for the development of novel antibacterial agents. This work describes the synthesis of a fluorinated analogue of ADP-L-glycero-beta-D-manno-heptopyranose, the donor substrate of the heptosyl transferase WaaC, which catalyzes the incorporation of this carbohydrate into LPS. Synthetically, the key step for the preparation of ADP-2F-heptose is the simultaneous and stereoselective installation of both the fluorine atom at C-2 and the phosphoryl group at C-1 through a selectfluor-mediated (selectfluor=1-chloromethyl-4-fluorodiazoniabicyclo[2.
