A scalable approach towards high-yielding and (stereo)selective glycosyl donors of the 2-ulosonic acid Kdo (3-deoxy-D-manno-oct-2-ulosonic acid) is a fundamental requirement for the development of vaccines against Gram-negative bacteria. Herein, we disclose a short synthetic route to 3-iodo Kdo fluoride donors from Kdo glycal esters that enable efficient α-specific glycosylations and significantly suppress the elimination side reaction. The potency of these donors is demonstrated in a straightfo ...[more]
