“…12 For the effective glycosylation with a sterol, several glycosyl donors have been developed, which are glycosyl halide, 19 glycosyl sulfide 20 and glycosyl trichloroacetimidate. 18,21,25 In our synthesis, 2-O-benzoyl-glycosyl trichloroacetimidates (compound 7, 8 and 9) as the glycosyl donor and Lewis acid as the promoter have been chosen for the stereoselective glycosylation of ergosterol and DHE.…”
