Dipotassium methyl α-D-mannopyranoside 6-phosphorothioate (4) and dipotassium D-mannose 6-phosphorothioate (7) have been prepared from per-O-trimethylsilyl derivatives of methyl α-D-mannopyranoside and D-mannopyranose, respectively, through reaction sequences involving selective cleavage in the pyranoside ether, and selective replacement in the pyranose ether, of a 6-O-trimethylsilyl group.
