I. Hachiya et S. Kobayashi, SCANDIUM(III) PERCHLORATE (SC(CLO4)(3)) - A NOVEL CATALYST IN THE ALPHA-C-GLYCOSYLATION AND N-GLYCOSYLATION REACTIONS, Tetrahedron letters, 35(20), 1994, pp. 3319-3320
In the presence of a catalytic amount of scandium(III) perchlorate (Sc
(ClO4)(3)), 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzyl-beta-D-ribofuranose reacted
with trimethylsilylated nucleophiles to afford the corresponding alpha
-D-ribofuranosides in high yields with good selectivities. The catalys
t could be recovered after the reactions were completed and could be r
eused.
