S. Manabe et al., Novel nitro Wang type linker for polymer support oligosaccharide synthesis; polymer supported acceptor, SYNLETT, (9), 2000, pp. 1241-1244
A novel linker designed for polymer support oligosaccharide synthesis is de
scribed. The nitro group carrying Wang resin type linker was stable under L
ewis acidic glycosylation conditions. Selective reduction of the nitro grou
p under the homogenous conditions was accompanied by spontaneous cyclizatio
n to release the oligosaccharides from polymer.
