A series of C-6 functionalised mannosides has been synthesised. Subsequent exposure of 6-azido-6-deoxy-D-mannopyranose and 6-bromo-6-deoxy- D-mannopyranose to Neu5Ac aldolase and sodium pyruvate provided the corresponding 9-azido- and 9-bromo-3,9-dideoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-2- nonulosonic acid, respectively.
