E. Kaji et N. Harita, Stannylene acetal-mediated regioselective open glycosylation of methyl beta-D-galactopyranoside and methyl alpha-L-rhamnopyranoside, TETRAHEDR L, 41(1), 2000, pp. 53-56
Open glycosylation of stannylated methyl beta-D-galactopyranoside with per-
O-benzoyl or -pivaloylglucopyranosyl bromide and -glucuronyl bromide, promo
ted by Ag-silica alumina, afforded regio- and stereoselectively glycosyl-be
ta(1-->6)-galactose and its orthoester derivative in good yield. Similar gl
ycosylation of unprotected methyl alpha-L-rhamnopyranoside with per-O-pival
oylglucuronyl bromide provided glucuronyl-beta(1-->3)-rhamnose in moderate
yield. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
