Iodine-catalyzed one-pot acetalation-esterification reaction for the preparation of orthogonally protected glycosides

摘要

An iodine-catalyzed one-pot tandem acetalation-esterification reaction of thio- and O-glycosides has been developed providing a fast and mild route to orthogonally protected glycosides ready to be used as building blocks in glycosylation reactions.
