Ms. Motawia et al., New phenyl 6,4 '-substituted-1-thio-beta-maltosides, building blocks for the synthesis of linear and branched malto-oligosaccharides, SYNTHESIS-S, (11), 2000, pp. 1547-1556
An efficient strategy to synthesize a number of new phenylthio-maltoside de
rivatives in yields from 55 to 95% is described. These derivatives can be u
sed as suitable building blocks for stepwise synthesis of starch derived ma
lto-oligosaccharides.
