Methyl [2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl 5-acetamido-9-azido-4-O-benzoyl-3,5,9-trideoxy-D-glycero-α-D-galacto- 2-nonulopyranosid]onate was sialylated with methyl (ethyl 5-acetamido-4,7,8,9-tetra-O-acetyl-2-thio-3-(phenylthio)-2,3,5-trideox y-D-erythro-α-L-gluco-2-nonulopyranosid)onate to give the corresponding bis(sialic acid) derivative in 23% yield. Removal of protecting groups, reduction of the azido group to an amino group, and removal of the auxiliary thiophenyl group gave the desired bis(sialic acid) 8,9-lactam. Comparison of the 1H NMR spectra and energy-minimized (MM3) structures of the bis(sialic acid) lactam with those of the corresponding bis(sialic acid) lactone showed the conformations of the two compounds to be very similar (RMS = 0.027 A).
