Benzotriazolyl-N-oxytris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate ('Le BOP' reagent) in combination with imidazole provides a very mild system for selective esterification of polyhydroxy-compounds.An example is given showing an improved selectivity towards position 2 of trehalose, leading to new derivatives of 'Cord-Factor'.
