Described is a general method for the conversion of glycals to the corresponding 1,2-cis-isopropylidene-α-glycosides. Epoxidation of glycals with dimethyldioxirane followed by ZnCl2-catalyzed addition of acetone converted a variety of protected glycals into 1,2-cis-isopropylidene-α-glycosides in good yield. The reaction is compatible with a range of protecting groups, including esters, benzyl ethers, and silyl ethers, as well as free hydroxyl groups. This method has been applied to develop a synthesis of protected glucuronic acid 1, a key intermediate in the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans. Compound 1 was produced in seven steps and 32% overall yield.

D-Glucuronic acid glycals can be efficiently synthesized from diacetone glucose or tri-O-acetyl glycal and can be transformed into D-glucuronic acid donors and acceptors in high yields. Base catalyzed epimerization of D-glucuronic acid glycals provides access to the corresponding L-iduronic acid glycals. Both D-glucuronic and L-iduronic acid glycals were transformed into glycosylating agents for use in the synthesis of glycosaminoglycan oligosaccharides.
