Abstract

To meet the increasing clinical demand for the diagnostic agent (4′-deoxychitobiosyl)-4-methylumbelliferone, a flexible and scalable route of synthesis is needed. In this paper such a route is presented. The key to the route is the use of a partially protected thiophenyl glucosamine as starting material for the preparation of both the reducing and nonreducing end building blocks of the 4′-deoxychitobiose disaccharide.
