agent (CH2Cl2:CaH2; toluene:Na). TLC analysis was performed on
Merck Kieselgel 60 F254 plates. Flash chromatography was per-
formed using silica gel Merck 60 (particle size 0.040–0.063 mm).
All anhydrous reactions were performed under nitrogen using
anhydrous solvents. NMR spectra were obtained on a Bruker AC
300 spectrometer operating at 300 MHz for 1H and at 75.64 MHz
for 13C. Melting points were determined on a Buchi-510 capillary
melting point apparatus. Chemical shifts are given in parts per mil-
lion relative to tetramethylsilane (TMS) and the coupling constants
J are given in Hertz. The spectra were recorded in CDCl3 as solvent
at room temperature. Elemental analysis was recorded on a PER-
KIN–ELMER 240B microanalyzer. Mass spectra were recorded on
a Finnigan LCQ DECA XP plus.

4.2. Synthesis of sugar 4 and maleimidosugar 5
Method A: To a solution of sugar 1 (177 mg, 0.68 mmol) in dry
pyridine (2 mL) was added p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (142 mg,
0.75 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temper-
ature for 10 h. The solvent was then removed in vacuo, after which
EtOAc was added and washed successively with 1 M HCl and satd
aq NaHCO3. The organic phase was dried (Na2SO4) and concen-
trated in vacuo. The crude product was dissolved in DMF (2 mL)
and sodium azide (110 mg, 1.7 mmol) was added. The reaction
mixture was stirred at 50 °C for 10 h after which H2O was added
and the aqueous phase was extracted with EtOAc. The organic
phase was dried over MgSO4, concentrated in vacuo, and purified
by column chromatography over silica gel using petroleum
ether–EtOAc (v/v = 7/3) as the eluent. A mixture of azido-sugar 2
(200 mg, 0.7 mmol) and 5% palladium–carbon (82 mg) in EtOH
(10 mL) was hydrogenated under an atmospheric pressure of
hydrogen using a balloon with vigorous stirring for 6 h. The mix-
ture was filtered through Celite, and the solvent removed in vacuo
to give the title compound in quantitative yield as a colorless solid.
Amino-sugar 3 (300 mg, 1.16 mmol) was dissolved in CH2Cl2
(25 mL) to which maleic anhydride (114 mg, 1 mmol) was added.
TLC control showed a quantitative reaction after which the product
was not purified further. Compound 4 (350 mg, 98%) was obtained
as a white solid. A solution of compound 4 (392 mg, 1.1 mmol), DCC

4.2.3. 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of nitrile oxides with maleimido-
sugar 5
A solution of maleimidosugar 5 (1 mmol, 326 mg) and chlorox-
imes 6 (1.2 mmol) in toluene (10 mL) was stirred at 110 °C. To this
solution trimethylamine (0.2 mL), dissolved in toluene (10 mL),
was added dropwise. The precipitated triethylammonium chloride
was removed by filtration and the filtrate was concentrated in va-
cuo, which was then submitted to chromatography (SiO2; ethyl
acetate/petroleum ether, 2:1) to afford compounds 7 and 8.
4.3. Procedure for trapping 2-diazopropane 9a with sugar 4
To a solution of sugar 4 (1.0 mmol, 357 mg) in CH2Cl2, cooled at
20 °C was added portionwise a 2.6 M ether solution of diazopro-
pane. The reaction was kept at the same temperature for 2 h after
which the solvent was removed in vacuo without heating to give a
brown oil, which was subjected to flash column chromatography
(SiO2; ethyl acetate/petroleum ether, 3:1) to afford compounds 11.
(223.4 mg, 1.1 mmol), and DMAP (11.1 mg, 91 lmol) in dichloro-
methane was stirred at room temperature for 2 h and then heated
at 40 °C for a further 1 h. The crude reaction mixture was filtered
and the solvent removed in vacuo. The crude material was purified
by flash column chromatography using ethyl acetate/hexanes as
eluant to afford maleimidosugar 5 as a white solid (228 mg, 70%).
Method B: Maleimide (1.0 mmol, 97 mg) was added to a solu-
tion of alcohol 1 (1.1 mmol, 260 mg) and phosphine reagent
(1.1 mmol, 262 mg) in anhydrous CH2Cl2 under an N2 atmosphere
at 0 °C. The resulting suspension/solution was treated with diethyl
azodicarboxylate (1.1 mmol, 174 mg) and the reaction mixture
was then continued to stir at room temperature up until comple-
tion of the reaction, as indicated by TLC monitoring (the reaction
mixture was filtered to recover the reduced diethyl azodicarboxyl-
ate). The solvent was then evaporated and the residue dissolved in
cyclohexane. The triphenylphosphane oxide precipitated and then
filtered off after which the filtrate was evaporated under reduced
pressure. The product was purified by column chromatography
on silica gel to afford the pure products (302 mg, 89%).
