Reaction Steps

A mixture of m-iodobenzoic acid (1.6 g; 6.45×10-3 mol) and thionyl chloride (10 ml) was stirred at 65° C. for 24 hours, benzene was added thereto, and excessive thionyl chloride was removed by distillation under reduced pressure. The thus prepared m-iodobenzoyl chloride was dissolved in benzene (2 ml), and a solution of 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-D-glucosamine (2 g; 5.76×10-3 mol) in benzene (10 ml) and pyridine (2 ml) was added thereto, followed by stirring for 48 hours. The resulting mixture was neutralized with 0.1N hydrochloric acid and extracted with chloroform, followed by crystallization from methanol to give N-(m-iodobenzoyl)-1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-D-glucosamine (ABGA) (1.50 g).
