“…The hydroxyl group at position 6 of fructose can be selectively deprotection with tert-butylammonium fluoride (TBAF) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) to obtain the partially protected 1',2,3,3',4,4',6-hepta-O-acetyl-6'-sucrose (4) 14 . (6) 16,17 . Coupling of the latter with dodecanoyl chloride and 2-butyloctanoyl chloride via Staudinger reaction in presence of tryphenylphosphine furnished the actylated surfactants 1',2,3,3',4,4',6-hepta-O-acetyl-6'-dodecanamido-sucrose (7a) and 1',2,3,3',4,4',6-hepta-O-acetyl-6'-2-butyl-octanamido-sucrose (8a) respectively [18][19][20] .…”
