The literature on the acetylation of the methyl ester of N-acetylneuraminic acid (1) is confusing and this note is intended to clarify the situation. In 1966, Kuhn et al.’ reported that acetylation of 1 with acetic anhydride in the presence of a catalytic amount of aqueous 60% perchloric acid at 40” for 2.5 h gave 61% of crystalline methyl 5-acetamido-2,4,7,8,9-penta-O-acetyl-3,5-dideoxyD-glycero-o-gakzcfo-2-nonulopyranosonate (m.p. 156-157”).
The 8-carbon analogue of N-acetylneuraminic acid was synthesized by the alkaline condensation of 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-d-lyxose and di-tert-butyloxaloacetate.…
