A highly selective method for the alkoxycarboxylation and acylation of primary alcohols of pyranose derivatives is described. The reaction is high yielding and proceeds under mild conditions with 0.15-1 mol-% Sc(OTf) 3 used in combination with anhydrides or pyrocarbonates at 40-50 °C. Selectivities observed for alkoxycarboxylation of unprotected pyranose derivatives are > 95 and this constitutes a significant advantage over existing methods. Mechanistic implications, including the role of steric demand and metal-heteroatom coordination are also discussed.
An improved procedure for the regioselective acetylation of monosaccharide derivatives by pancreatin-catalyzed transesterification in organic solvents

A series of pyranoside and furanosidic monosaccharide derivatives were monoacetylated in the 6-position with high regioselectivity and good to excellent yields by the pancreatin-catalyzed transesterification with vinyl acetate in the solvent system tetrahydrofuran/triethylamine.
