The synthetic pathway employs the glycosylation of phenol with ManNAc oxazoline, followed by nitration of the aromatic moiety yielding a separable mixture of the o- and p-nitrophenyl derivative in a 2:3 ratio. %K ¦Á-ManNAc %K glycosidase %K glycosylation %K nitrophenyl %K oxazoline %U http://dx.doi.org/10.3762/bjoc.8.48
