Hydrosilylation of allyl esters of monosaccharides

By hydrosilylation of 1-O-allyl-2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranose and 1-O-allyl-2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-galactopyranose with 1,3-bis(dimethylsilyl)-2,2,4,4-tetramethylcyclodisilazane in the presence of the catalyst Co₂(CO)₈, we have obtained 1,3-di3-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranosyloxy)propyldimethylsilyl]-2,2,4,4-tetramethylcyclodisilazane and 1,3-di3-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-galactopyranosyloxy)propyldimethylsilyl]-2,2,4,4-tetramethylcyclodisilazane. By deacetylation, we obtained 1,3-di3-(β-D-glucopyranosyloxy)propyldimethylsilyl]-2,2,4,4-tetramethylcyclodisilazane. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1859–1862, December, 2005.
