New and Efficient Glycosylation of Glucosylsulfoxide under High Pressure

Abstract

Glycosylation reactions of methyl 2, 3, 4, 6-tetra-O-benzyl-D-glucopyranosylsulfoxide with various alcohols under high pressure in toluene using O-mesityrenesulfonylhydroxylamine as the activator gave the corresponding glucosides each in good yield and selectivity.
