Carbohydrates U 0500Palladium-Catalyzed Synthesis of Bis-glycosides of But-2-ene-1,4-diol, Butane-1,4-diol, and 1,2,-Bis (propenyl)benzene. -Spacer-linked disaccharides of type (VII), (VIII), (X), and (XI) (15 examples in all) are prepared, which are of interest due to the biological importance of carbohydrates mediating a host of biological responses. They also may serve as precursors for gemini surfactants or of carbohydrate-based macrocycles. -(SINOU*, D.; LHOSTE, P.; PICHON, N.; KRYCZKA, B.; PORWANSKI, S.; ZAWISZA, A.; J. Carbohydr.
