Abstract:
A method for the synthesis of a new family of 1-deoxy S-disaccharides has been established via free-radical hydrothiolation of glycals by sugar thiols (thiol-ene coupling). The photoinduced coupling between four tri-O-acetyl-d-glycals and three different sugar thiols reveals that the reaction efficiency and stereoselectivity are highly dependent on the stereochemistry of the OAc groups at C3 and C4 of the glycal.
