Abstract
7-Fluoro sialic acid was prepared and activated as cytidine monophosphate (CMP) ester. The synthesis started with d-glucose, which was efficiently converted into N-acetyl-4-fluoro-4-deoxy-d-mannosamine. Aldolase catalyzed transformation yielded the corresponding fluorinated sialic acid which was activated as CMP ester using three different synthetases in the presence as well as in the absence of pyrophosphatase which possesses inhibitory properties. Finally, conditions were optimized to perform a one-pot reaction starting from fluorinated mannosamine, which yielded the 7-fluoro-7-deoxy-CMP-sialic acid by incubation with three enzymes.
