Treatment of alkyl D-glycopyranosides and alkyl or phenyl 1-thio-ß-D-glycopyranosides 1 with 1,3-dichloro-1,1,3,3-tetraisopropyldisiloxane gave the corresponding 4,6-O-(1,1,3,3-tetraisopro-pyldisiloxane-1,3-diyl) protected glycosides 2 which were subsequently benzoylated with benzoyl bromide to give the fully blocked glycosides 3. Reaction of the latter with methyl pyruvate and a catalytic amount of trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate gave alkyl and phenyl 4,6-O-[1-(methoxycarbonyl)ethylidene]glycopyranosides 4 with high diastereoselectivity.
