The methyl esters of 7-epi-Neu5Ac (1a), 8-epi-Neu5Ac (2a), 7,8-bis(epi)-Neu5Ac (3a), 7-deoxy-Neu5Ac (4a), 8-deoxy-Neu5Ac (5a), 9-deoxy-Neu5Ac (6a), and 4,7-dideoxy-Neu5Ac (7a) were transformed into their peracetylated mixtures of the α-anomers 1b-7b and 1c-7c.In the next step the 2-Cl derivatives were prepared with acetyl chloride/HCl which yielded in the following Koenigs-Knorr reaction with 4-methylumbelliferone (MU) the corresponding methylumbelliferyl 2α-glycosides 7-epi-Neu4,5,7,8,9Ac51Me-αMU (1d), 8-epi-Neu4,5,7,8,9Ac51Me-αMU (2d), 7,8-bis(epi)-Neu4,5,7,8,9Ac51Me-αMu (3d), 7-deoxy-Neu-4,5,8,9Ac41Me-αMU (4d), 8-deoxy-Neu4,5,7,9Ac41Me-αMU (5d), 9-deoxy-Neu4,5,7,8Ac41Me-αMU (6d), and 4,7-dideoxy-Neu-5,8,9Ac31Me-αMU (7d).In the last case also the β-anomer of 4,7- dideoxy-Neu5,8,9Ac31Me-βMU (7d') was formed.Zemplen saponification followed by hydrolysis of the ester group with sodium hydroxide, resulted in the sodium salts of the sialic acid MU 2α-glycosides 7-epi, 8-epi, 7,8-bis(epi)-, 8-deoxy-, 9-deoxy- and 4,7-dideoxy-Neu5Ac-MU 1e-7e.The enzymatic hydrolysis of these compounds with sialidase from Vibrio cholerae showed only for 3e and 7e significantly reduced rates of cleavage, which is in agreement with the inhibitor constants Ki of the related 2,3-didehydro sialic acids 7,8-bis(epi)-Neu5Ac2en and 4,7-dideoxy-Neu5Ac2en.
