Synthesis of monoglycosides, bisglycosides and open-chain ketoacetals from sugar derived exocyclic enol ethers†
Abstract
Under acidic conditions, the reaction of pent-4-enofuranosides with various nucleophiles of mostly alcohol origin furnished bisglycosylated products along with open-chain ketoacetals and monoglycosylated products depending upon the reagents and reaction conditions. The reactions appear to proceed via nucleophilic attack at C-1 and/or C-4 of the reaction intermediates.
