A Facile Synthesis of 1,2-Anhydro-6-O-acetyl-3,4-di-O-benzyl-d-glycopyranoses and 1,2-Anhydro-5-O-acetyl-3-O-benzyl-D-glycofuranoses

Abstract

The ability to couple carbohydrate entities to produce glycosides or higher oligomers is an important goal of synthetic organic chemistry.¹ For the past several decades, methods to construct glycosidic linkages have improved as a result of the development of glycosidation procedures.² However, owing to their structural complexity, synthesis of oligosaccharides is still a laborious task compared with the synthesis of oligopeptides and oligonucleotides. Many additional sugar derivatives which can improve and simplifjr synthetic procedures of oligosaccharides are needed.
