Wm. Best et al., A SYNTHETIC ROUTE TO EPOXYALKYL BETA-LAMINARIBIOSIDES, ESPECIALLY SUITABLE FOR RADIOLABELING, Australian Journal of Chemistry, 47(9), 1994, pp. 1805-1809
The major products in the controlled benzylation (NaH/PhCH2Cl) of ally
l and but-3-enyl beta-D-glucopyranosides were the 2,4,6-tri-O-benzyl e
thers. Subsequent glycosidations of these tribenzyl ethers gave deriva
tives of allyl and but-3-enyl beta-laminaribioside, the latter being s
ubsequently transformed into 3,4-epoxybutyl beta-laminaribioside.
