SYNTHESIS OF α- AND β-D-MANNOFURANOSIDES via 1-O-ALKYLATION

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4039(80)80235-8

α- or, alternatively, β-glycoside and -disaccharide formation with 1-O-metalated mannofuranoses was performed via 1-O-alkylation with triflates.The high stereoselectivity observed is discussed in terms of intra- versus intermolecular complexation of the metal ion.
