A recyclable fluorous labeled THP protecting group has been developed that
allows for simple purification of small molecules by liquid-liquid extracti
on with FC-72/MeCN, and of larger or more polar molecules by solid phase ex
traction with fluorous reverse phase silica gel. In addition, we report a n
ew glycosylation method which uses the Cp2ZrCl2-AgClO4 reagent system to ac
tivate an anomeric sulfoxide. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights res
