A HIGHLY EFFICIENT, PRACTICAL, AND STEREOSELECTIVE APPROACH TO THE SYNTHESIS OF α 1 --> 4 LINKED GALACTOOLIGOSACCHARIDES

Exclusive formation of α1<*>4 linked galactopyranosyl oligosaccharides could be achieved by employing glycosyl fluorides.The observed diastereofacial selectivity was explained in terms of the nucleophilic attack of glycosyl acceptors toward convex face of the glycosyl fluorides.
