d‑Glycero‑α‑d‑manno‑heptose hexaacetate (9) Fischer trans-
glycosylation in fow. The crude mixture of dd-manno and
ll-gulo triols (maximum total content 40 mmol, 6:7~ 6:1)
[34] was dissolved in 250 cm3 MeOH, fltered through a
flter paper, and pumped through a packed bed reactor (15 g
of QP-SA) at 90 °C with 1 cm3/min fow rate. The product
solution was evaporated taken up in water and washed with
DCM and Et2O until all apolar impurities were extracted
from the aqueous layer (monitored by TLC). The aqueous
layer was evaporated and analyzed by 1H NMR indicating a
small proportion of remaining acetonide protection. There-
fore, the material was taken up in 200 cm3 MeOH and passed
through the same reactor under identical conditions as before
achieving full cleavage of acetonides to methyl heptosides 8.
Acetylation and acetolysis. To the methyl heptoside mix-
stirred for several minutes before 1 g H2SO4–SiO2 [39] was
added at rt. The reaction mixture started to warm and within
1 h the reaction mixture turned homogenous. When all mate-
rial had dissolved, stirring was continued for an additional
30 min to allow the mixture to cool to rt. Then, 3 cm3 con-
centrated H2SO4 were added dropwise at rt and the reaction
mixture was stirred at rt overnight. The reaction mixture
was cooled with an ice bath and treated with 32 cm3 DIPEA
(a change of color from violet to orange, pH~5–7) and was
stirred for 10 min before being diluted with EtOAc (200 cm3
in total) and washed with water (2 × 200 cm3), 1 M HCl
(100 cm3, pH acidic) and water, NaHCO3, and brine, dried
over Na2SO4 and evaporated, co-evaporated from toluene
twice and once from EtOH and dried in vacuo to leave a
crude material of 19 g of a sticky solid. The material was
recrystallized from boiling EtOH (~20 cm3), crystallization
while stirring furnished a colorless solid that was collected
by fltration, washed with fresh cold EtOH and hexane to
yield, the pure target compound 9 (12.2 g), according to
1H NMR with minor amounts of the β-anomer but without
any indication for l-glycero-l-gulo isomers. An analytical
sample was prepared by a second recrystallization (500 mg)
from boiling EtOH (2 cm3, µW, 3 min, 100 °C) to yield
large colorless crystals (430 mg) after fltration and wash-

ent with those reported [35]. 1H NMR (600 MHz, CDCl3):
