B. A 1% aqueous solution of TFA (0.5 mL) was added to a
solution of imidate 3 (see below) in THF—H2O (4 : 1) (1 mL).
The reaction mixture was kept at ~20 °C. According to TLC
data (Rf 0.80 (3) and 0.54 (2), toluene—acetone (1 : 1)), the
reaction mixture after 1 h contained only compound 2.

trifluoride (76 μL, 100.6 mg, 0.624 mmol) was added to a cooled
(ice—water bath) solution of aldehyde 1 (100 mg, 0.156 mmol)
(see Ref. 7) in anhydrous CH2Cl2 (1 mL). The mixture was
stirred at ~20 °C for 18 h and another portion of DAST (76 μL,
100.6 mg, 0.624 mmol) was added. Then two more portions of
DAST (200 μL, 263.6 mg, 1.636 mmol, each) were added after
6 and 20 h. After 18 h, MeOH (5 mL) was added and volatiles
were removed on a rotary evaporator. Product 3 was isolated
from the residue by column chromatography with gradient eluꢀ
tion from toluene to toluene—acetone (8 : 2). The yield was
60.8 mg (58%), Rf 0.80 (toluene—acetone, 1 : 1). 1H NMR

2ꢀulopyranosid]onate (9). Methyl triflate (30 μL, 51.6 mg,
0.344 mmol) was added under argon to a cooled (–40 °C) soluꢀ
tion of nitrophenyl glycoside 8 (92 mg, 0.152 mmol) (see
Ref. 14) and DTBMP (132.8 mg, 0.647 mmol) in anhydrous
CH2Cl2 (2 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at ~20 °C for
3 h. Additional amount of MeOTf (30 μL, 51.6 mg, 0.344 mmol)
and DTBMP (132.8 mg, 0.647 mmol) were added. The reaction
mixture was stirred for 20 h and concentrated on a rotary evapoꢀ
rator. The residue was dissolved in CH2Cl2; the solution was
washed with 1 M H2SO4 (50 mL), a saturated solution of
NaHCO3 (2×50 mL), and brine (50 mL), filtered through a
cotton wool plug, and concentrated on a rotary evaporator.
Imidate 9 was isolated from the residue by column chromatoꢀ
graphy with gradient elution from toluene to toluene—acetone
(1 : 1). The yield was 62.2 mg (65%), Rf 0.82 (toluene—acetone,
