Description

2,3,4,6-Tetra-O-benzyl-a-D-glucopyranose is a synthetic derivative of galactose that can be used as a sugar donor in the synthesis of various types of glycosides. It is activated with phosphorus oxychloride and aluminium chloride to yield the corresponding anhydride. The hydroxy group on 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-a-D-glucopyranose may be converted to an alkene by condensation with naphthalene or another electrophile. The stereoselective introduction of the hydroxy group using this method provides a valuable tool for chemists who are interested in synthesizing chiral molecules.
