• at C4 could contribute to a new fluorine effect in nucleophilic substitution. Finally, with the continuous objective of synthesizing novel multi-vicinal fluorosugars, we prepared one difluorinated and one trifluorinated alditol analogue. Keywords: deoxyfluorination; Et3N·3HF; fluorine effect

• biochemical processes [1]. Therefore, the use of bioisosteres of carbohydrates functional groups is a popular approach in glycobiology [2]. As such, the synthesis of fluorosugars, including polyfluorinated analogues, is an interesting strategy to study biological systems [3][4][5][6][7]. The replacement of OH

• steps. Evaluation of in vitro stability against enzymatic degradation Besides improved immunogenicity, fluorinated TACAs may also feature an enhanced stability against enzymatic degradation, since many glycosidases do not accept fluorosugars, which can even act as mechanism-based enzyme inhibitors [50

• chromatographic separations of diastereoisomers. The costs and benefits of the de novo approach were illustrated by our recent asymmetric, stereodivergent route to selected 6-deoxy-6-fluorohexoses in which we transformed a fluorinated hexadienoate 9 into the fluorosugars 6-deoxy-6-fluoro-L-idose, 6-fluoro-L
