Efficient preparation of compound 6 in pure α form was obtained, which was proved critical to achieve high anomeric selectivity in β-O-glycosylation later. The direct β-O-glycosylation of vildagliptin (1) containing both a tertiary alcohol and a secondary amine was studied and achieved in good yield. The deprotection step to afford product was delicately executed to avoid hydrolysis of nitrile group. The target compound 2 was obtained after purification by reversed-phase C18 chromatography.展开更多
