A one-pot septanoside formation and glycosylation of acyclic dithioacetals derived from 1,2-cyclopropanated sugars†
Abstract
Ring opening of 3-oxo-1,2-cyclopropanated sugars with thiols leads to the serendipitous discovery of the synthesis of sugar based homologated acyclic dithioacetals. These acyclic dithioacetals were found to undergo one-pot septanoside formation followed by stereoselective glycosylation in the presence of glycosyl acceptors under glycosylation reaction conditions.
