Abstract:
The regioselective monobenzyloxycarbonylation of secondary alcohols in methyl 6-O-(4-methoxytrityl)-alpha-D-manno-, gluco- and galactopyranoside has been achieved in high yields (74-85%) by using benzyl chloroformate in the presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine and/or 1,4-diazabicyclo2.2.2]octane.
