Abstract2,3,4,6‐Tetra‐O‐chloroacetyl‐glycopyranoses are key precursors for the formation of glycosyl donors which are important building blocks in carbohydrate chemistry. Inexpensive ammonium acetate (NH4OAc) was found to be an effective reagent for anomeric dechloroacetylations in carbohydrates, giving 2,3,4,6‐tetra‐O‐chloroacetyl‐glycopyranoses in excellent yields. This strategy is convenient for operation and purification, and thus suitable for the large‐scale synthesis. Based on this methodology, two cinnamoyl glucose esters were successfully prepared.
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.
