Cyanuric chloride as an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of 2,3-unsaturated o -glycosides by ferrier rearrangement

Abstract

Cyanuric chloride has been found to be an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of 2,3-unsaturated O-glycosides from the reaction of 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-D-glucal and a wide range of alcohols in dichloromethane at room temperature. The experimental procedure is simple, and the products are obtained in high yields. © 2014 Xiaojuan Yang and Na Li.
