osyl)-3-chloropropionamide hydrate (2).—
Compound 5 (50 mg, 0.227 mmol) was dis-
solved in dimethyl sulfoxide (ten drops), and
compound 6 (47.6 mg, 0.239 mmol) was
added.2,13 A total of 18 sample vials were
prepared. The samples were vortexed at rt
overnight. The samples were combined, and
the solvent was extracted with Et2O (six
aliquots of 50 mL each). Evaporation of resid-
ual Et2O left an oily residue that was dissolved
in water and purified by HPLC in fractions.
Eluent with a retention time between 20.2 and
24.5 min (depending on fraction size) was
collected. The eluents were combined and
lyophilized to give 350 mg (28%) of 2 as a
fluffy, white crystalline solid: mp 201.3–
osyl)-n-butyramide hydrate (1).—Compound 5
(50 mg, 0.227 mmol) was dissolved in water
(four drops) and n-butyric anhydride (37.2
mL, 0.227 mmol) was added.2,13 A total of 15
sample vials were prepared. The samples were
vortexed at rt for 1 h; any solid that formed
was dissolved by addition of a minimal
amount of water. The samples were combined
and purified by HPLC in fractions. Eluent
with a retention time between 29.0 and 40.0
min (depending on fraction size) was col-
lected. The eluents were combined and
lyophilized to give 257 mg (26%) of 1 as fluffy,

Preparation of 3-chloropropionic anhydride
(6).—Using the basic procedure of Ouihia et
al.,6 3-chloropropionic acid (2.0 g, 18.4 mmol)
was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (40 mL). N,N%-Dicy-
clohexylcarbodiimide (3.8 g, 18.4 mmol) was
added slowly with stirring. After the addition
was completed, the solution was stirred for 5
min and filtered to remove dicyclohexylurea.
The precipitate was washed with CH2Cl2 and
the filtrates were combined. Solvent was re-
moved by rotary evaporation to give a vis-
N1-(2-Acetamido-2-deoxy-i-
-glucopyran-
D
osyl)-3-aminopropionamide hydrochloride di-
hydrate (3).—Using a modification of Manger
et al.,9 compound 2 (50 mg, 0.227 mmol) was
dissolved in water (0.5 mL) in a glass ampule
containing a stir bar. NH4HCO3 (0.5 g, 6.41
mmol) was added. Two ampules were pre-
pared. Each ampule was sealed, placed in an
oil bath at 40–50 °C, and stirred for 2 days.
The ampules were broken, and the solutions
combined and filtered through glass wool.
Water (3 mL) was added to the filtrate, and
the solution was placed in a water bath at
40 °C for 2 h to evaporate residual NH4HCO3.
The product was purified by HPLC in frac-
1
cous, yellowish, opaque liquid (1.275 g). H
NMR (CDCl3) showed the sample contained
65% 6 by integration of the two methylene
groups at l 2.85 and 3.75 for the acid and l
2.95 and 3.85 for the anhydride, and was used
without further purification.
