REGIOSELECTIVE LIPASE-CATALYZED ACYLATION OF 4,6-O-BENZYLIDENE-ALPHA-D-PYRANOSIDE AND 4,6-O-BENZYLIDENE-BETA-D-PYRANOSIDE DERIVATIVES DISPLAYING A RANGE OF ANOMERIC SUBSTITUENTS
Jj. Gridley et al., REGIOSELECTIVE LIPASE-CATALYZED ACYLATION OF 4,6-O-BENZYLIDENE-ALPHA-D-PYRANOSIDE AND 4,6-O-BENZYLIDENE-BETA-D-PYRANOSIDE DERIVATIVES DISPLAYING A RANGE OF ANOMERIC SUBSTITUENTS, Tetrahedron, 54(49), 1998, pp. 14925-14946
The application of Lipase enzymes to effect regioselective C-3-O-acyla
tion of 4,6-O-benzylidene-beta-D-gluco- and -galactopyranosides displa
ying a range of anomeric substituents, and C-2-O- acylation of phenyl
4,6-O-benzylidene-alpha-D-glucopyranoside and ethyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-
1-thio-alpha-D-glucopyranoside is reported. In particular this method
has allowed introduction of a variety of acyl protecting groups at the
C-3 hydroxyl group of ethyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-1-thio-beta-D-glucopyra
