Two new C-9 protecting groups for the anomeric position of carbohydrates ar
e reported. Methods both for their introduction and removal are described.
The C-9-protected compounds are much less polar than the corresponding ally
l protected analogues. The new protecting group chemistry has been used to
prepare compound 17 en route to a disaccharide analogue of the antibiotic m
oenomycin A. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
