“…The observation of the signals for C-l' in the 13C_ NMR spectrum at b 97.04 ppm for 28 and 97.33 for 29 supported the a-D-configuration. Glycosylation of the chiral secondary alcohols (7,8) with 9 or 10 gave inferior results under the same reaction conditions to those mentioned above. However, phenyl 4-0-acetyl-2,3,6-tri-O-benzyl-l-deoxy-l-thio-D-glucopyranoside (35, a,p-mixture) in the presence of N-bromosuccinimide and activated molcular sieves 12 )gave anomeric mixtures (36 and 38,.40 and 42) with the 1 : 1 ratios in 70.0 and 54.1 % yields, respectively.…”
