An expedient protocol for synthesis of orthogonally protected 2-azido-2-deoxy-d-glucosamine and 2-azido-2-deoxy-d-galactosamine donors from d-mannose is described. Readily available phenyl β-d-thiomannoside is rapidly transformed into d-GlcN3 thioglycosides via a highly regioselective 3-O-acylation followed by 4,6-O-benzylidenation and azide displacement of C2-OTf, which is further converted into d-GalN3 thioglycosides through Lattrell-Dax inversion of the C4 hydroxy group and its Boc protection. The reaction sequence may be completed in 2 days and involves simple workups and minimal column chromatography.
