“…27,28 First, tetra-O-Bn-derivative 1 was prepared from commercial 1-O-acetyl-2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-D-glucopyranose by insertion of an allyl group followed by hydroboration and bromination of the resulting alkene moiety, according to a known method. 21 We have recently described the synthesis of compound 3 22 starting from compound 1 (Scheme 1). Briefly, catalytic hydrogenolysis gave the fully deprotected derivative, which subsequently reacted with NaN 3 to afford the azido derivative.…”
