Abstract
Iodine has been found to be an efficient promoter in the alcoholysis of unprotected or fully benzylated methyl 1-thio-β-D-galactopyranoside. Stereoselective formation of 1,2-cis linkages in oligosaccharide synthesis using “armed” thiomethyl glycosides as glycosyl donors was also observed. Protecting groups such as acetate, benzoate, benzylidene, isopropylidene, trimethylsilylethyl etc are stable under the reaction conditions.
Iodine has been found to be an efficient chemospecific activator of thiomethylglycosides in the stereoselective formation of 1,2-cis linkages in oligosaccharide synthesis.
