The 2,2-dimethyl-2-(-nitrophenyl)acetyl (DMNPA) group was introduced to synthetic carbohydrate chemistry as a protecting group (PG) for the first time. Benefiting from a unique chemical structure and novel deprotection conditions, the DMNPA group can be cleaved rapidly and mutually orthogonal to other PGs. Orchestrated application of the DMNPA group with other PGs led to the highly efficient synthesis of the glycan of thornasterside A.

The stereoselective introduction of glycosidic bonds is of paramount importance to oligosaccharide synthesis. Among the various chemical strategies to steer stereoselectivity, participation by either neighboring or distal acyl groups is used particularly often. Recently, the use of the 2,2-dimethyl-2-(-nitrophenyl)acetyl (DMNPA) protection group was shown to offer enhanced stereoselective steering compared to other acyl groups.

The 2,2-dimethyl-2-(-nitrophenyl)acetyl (DMNPA) group permits, via robust neighboring group participation (NGP) or long distance participation (LDP) effects, the stereocontrolled 1,2-, 1,2-, as well as β-2,6-dideoxy glycosidic bond generation, while suppressing the undesired orthoester byproduct formation. The robust stereocontrol capability of the DMNPA is due to the dual-participation effect from both the ester functionality and the nitro group, verified by control reactions and DFT calculations and further corroborated by X-ray spectroscopy.
