Reaction Steps

A solution of 5 grams of benzyl 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-palmitamido-β-D-glucopyranoside (Compound 1b) in 140 ml. of methanol was refluxed for about 30 minutes after the addition of a piece of sodium metal. A sulfonic cation exchange resin was added to remove the sodium, followed by hot filtration. The filtrate was concentrated on a rotary evaporator to yield the desired product in the form of a gelatinous solid which was stored in an evacuated oven at 70° C. overnight.
