Highly α-selective sialylation of sialic acid N- phenyltrifluoroacetimidate with various galactose and lactose acceptors has been achieved by introducing the C-5 N-phthalyl group on the donor. The "fixed dipole effect" of the N-phthalyl group was proposed to explain the high reactivity and α-selectivity. The microfluidic system was applied to the present α-sialylation, which is amenable to large-scale synthesis. The N-phthalyl group was removed by treatment with methylhydrazine acetate, for which protocol can be readily applied to the synthesis of a variety of sialic acid-containing oligosaccharides.
