The reaction of sugars bearing a cyclic sulfite group on C-l,C-2 with azide or benzoate ions, is strereoselective and gives trans-1,2 glycosyl azides or glycosyl benzoates with a free hydroxyle at C-2. The reaction is performed under mild conditions and gives excellent yields of glycosyl derivatives.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
