Aryl β-glycopyranosides have been synthesized by coupling syringaldehyde (3-methoxyvanillin) with L-fucose, D-galactose, and maltose; acetosyringone (4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyacetophenone) with L-fucose and maltose; acetovanillone (4-hydroxy-3-methoxyacetophenone) with L-fucose; and syringic acid (4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxybenzoic acid) with D-galactose. The procedure using peracetylated glycosyl halides and sodium phenolates in aqueous acetone afforded the acetylated β-glycosides, which were deacetylated.
