B. Guilbert et al., DIBUTYLSTANNYLENE ACETALS - USEFUL INTERMEDIATES FOR THE REGIOSELECTIVE SULFATION OF GLYCOSIDES, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 5(11), 1994, pp. 2163-2178
Sulfated mono- and disaccharides were synthesised by a novel sulfation
method via regioselective activation of the saccharides to their dibu
tyltin stannylene acetals, followed by treatment with sulfur trioxide-
trimethylamine. This methodology was applied to the synthesis of 3'-su
lfated lactosides 15 and 23, galactosylceramide sulfatide 3 and 2'-sul
fated maltosides 30, 32 and 34.
