An efficient method for the synthesis of a 1,6-anhydro-α-D-galactofuranose derivative and its application in the synthesis of oligosaccharides

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/07328309908544059

Synthesis of 1,6-anhydro-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-galactofuranose (3) has been achieved in good yield by stannic chloride catalysed ring closure of methyl 2,3,4-tri-O-benzoyl-6-O-benzyl-β-D-galactofuranoside (1). The anhydro compound 3 was converted to the
