Multigram-scale syntheses of three 6-deoxy-6-sulfonatomethyl α-glucosides were accomplished via reactions of the corresponding primary triflate derivatives with the lithiated ethyl methanesulfonate. Chemoselective glycosylation reactions of different 6-C-sulfonatomethyl glucoside donors were studied. The sulfonic acid-containing building blocks were utilised in a novel [2+3] block synthesis of a trisulfonic acid isoster of the anticoagulant pentasaccharide idraparinux.
