Studies on benzylation of hydrophilic carbohydrate derivatives with benzyl chloride, using a phase-transfer technique, have led to the conclusion that alkylation of a substrate can be greatly facilitated by the introduction of a "co-catalyst" (e.g. a tertiary alcohol) and/or a co-solvent (e.g.DMSO) to the reaction mixture.Efficient procedures for benzylation of sugar derivatives having three to eight hydroxyl groups per molecule, in two-phase system employing an almost stoichiometric amount of the alkylating agent, are presented.
