Szeja, Wieslaw
, p. 1503 - 1509 (2007/10/02)
Alkylation of hydroxyl groups of sugars has been performed by means of primary alkyl halides or sulfates in a catalytic two-phase (CTP) system containing a concentrated, aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and a catalyst, i.e. tetra-n-butylammonium chloride.The corresponding ethers were formed with a very high yield.
