acid methyl ester (18). To a solution of 12 (200 mg, 0.46 mmol) in
anhydrous DCM (3 mL) was added isothiocyanate 17 (186 mg,
0.92 mmol) in anhydrous DCM (3 mL) dropwise. The mixture was
stirred at room temperature overnight, and then concentrated
and purified by silica gel column chromatography (dichloro-

3,4,5-trideoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-non-2-enonic acid (19). A solu-
tion of ester 18 (200 mg, 0.32 mmol) in MeOH (5 mL) and aqueous
NaOH (1 N, 5 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 3 h. The
mixture was then neutralized with Dowex 50WX8 (Hþ) resin to
pH 6, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica
gel column chromatography (dichloromethane/methanol¼4:1) to
afford 19 (107 mg, 69%) as a white solid. Mp >200 ꢀC; ½a D20
