Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(99)01834-1

Thioglycosides were synthesised from 1-thiosugars and a series of alcohols under Mitsunobu conditions using 1,1'-(azodicarbonyl)dipiperidine and trimethylphosphine. The conditions were found to be compatible with a wide range of functionalities and protec
