Abstract: A newly prepared glycosyl donor, the acetyl protected 2&bromo-3B-hydroxy-N-acetylneuraminic ester was condensed with the protected 2-deoxy-2,3_dehydroneuraminic ester having a free hydroxy group at 9- or 8-position to form NeuAc(aZ-9)NeuAc and NeuAc(aZ-8)which are involved in the group C NeuAc linkage, respectively, meningococcal polysaccharides and gangliosides. The obtained 38hydroxy disaccharides were phenoxythiocarbonylated, reduced with and deprotected to give the free glycosides in tri-n-butylstannane, high yields.
