R. Ahmad et al., Synthesis and structure determination of some oxadiazole-2-thione and triazole-3-thione galactosides, NUCLEOS NUC, 20(9), 2001, pp. 1671-1682
The syntheses of 5-pyridyl-3(beta -D-galactopyranosyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-t
hiones 3a-3c and 5-pyridyl-2(beta -D-galactopyranosyl)-4-benzyl-1,2, 4-tria
zole-3-thiones 6a-6c are reported. The existence of N-galactosides - not S-
galactosides - was proven by IR and N-15 NMR spectroscopy. The structures o
f the final products and the intermediates were elucidated by IR, H-1, C-13
and N-15 NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.
