Thioglycuronides: synthesis and application in the assembly of acidic oligosaccharides

Org Lett. 2004 Jun 24;6(13):2165-8. doi: 10.1021/ol049380+.

Abstract

[reaction: see text] Partially protected thioglycuronic acids are prepared efficiently by chemo- and regioselective oxidation of the corresponding thioglycosides using the TEMPO/BAIB reagent combination. After esterification, the thioglycuronic acids proved to be useful as both donor and acceptor in sulfonium-mediated condensations toward acidic di- and trisaccharides.
