deoxy-b-D-mannopyranose (3)
To a solution of 5 (1.71 g, 5.00 mmol) in DMF (10 mL),
dried NaH (0.30 g, 13 mmol) and benzyl bromide (1.5 mL,
13 mmol) were added with stirring at room temperature. Af-
ter 12 h, methanol was added to the solution until bubbles
were no longer produced, and the mixture was concentrated
under reduced pressure. The resultant syrup was dissolved
in chloroform and water. The separated chloroform portion
was washed with water twice, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4,
and then evaporated prior to column chromatography on
silica gel. Elution from the column with hexane/ethyl acetate
3/1 afforded syrupy 6, which was further purified by means
of HPLC (the same eluent), affording 2.4 g (92%) of the
desired product without any detectable impurity in the 1H
NMR spectrum. ½aꢂ2D5: þ18.3 (c ¼ 1.0, CHCl3). Anal. Calcd for
To a solution of 2 (2.72 g, 10.0 mmol) in N, N-dimethyl
formamide (DMF) (30 mL), benzyl bromide (3.6 mL, 30
mmol) was added dropwise in the presence of Ba(OH)2 (3.4
g, 20 mmol) and BaO (7.6 g, 50 mmol) at room temperature.
After 12 h of stirring, a small amount of methanol was
added, and the mixture was subject to vacuum filtration
R
using a membrane with a pore size of 0.45 mm (MilliporeV).
The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and diluted with chlo-
roform. The solution was washed with water three times,
dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, and then evaporated in vacuo.
The residue was purified through silica gel chromatography
and subsequent HPLC (hexane/ethyl acetate 2/1 as both elu-
25
ents) to give 2.78 g (75%) of 3 as a colorless syrup. ½aꢂD

Polymerization
Ring-opening polymerization was performed in dichlorome-
thane under high vacuum conditions (ꢄ10ꢃ5 mmHg) at ꢃ60
and 0ꢁC as reported previously.31 The polymers produced
were purified by reprecipitation with chloroform–petroleum
benzine or chloroform–methanol three times and freeze-
dried from benzene. The supernatants after reprecipitation
were confirmed by GPC whether polymeric products still
remained or not. The spectral features of polymers 4 and 7
are as follows.
Synthesis of 2-Amino-1,6-anhydro-3,4-di-O-benzyl-2-
deoxy-b-D-mannopyranose (5)
Sodium tetrahydroborate (0.19 g, 5.0 mmol) was added to a
solution of 3 (1.84 g, 5.00 mmol) in methanol (30 mL) at
room temperature. The solution was stirred at 60ꢁC for 2 h,
quenched by the addition of acetone, and concentrated in
vacuo. The residue was dissolved in chloroform and water.
The chloroform layer was washed with water twice, dried
over anhydrous Na2SO4, and evaporated in vacuo. The crude
product was chromatographed on silica gel (ethyl acetate/
methanol 5/1 as eluent), giving 1.57 g (92%) of purified col-
orless syrupy 5. ½aꢂ2D5: þ27.9 (c ¼ 1.0, CHCl3). Anal. Calcd for
