Preparation of tritylated 1,2-0-(1-methoxycarbonyl)ethylidene derivatives of carbohydrates and their conversion into tritylated 1,2-0-(1-cyano)ethylidene derivatives

Conclusion Tritylation of 1,2-0-1-(methoxycarbonyl)ethylidene derivative of carbohydrates followed by ammonolysis of the methoxycarbonyl group and dehydration was proposed as an alternative method for the preparation of tritylated 1,2-0-1-(cyano)ethylidene derivatives for use as monomers for polycondensation.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 5, pp. 1126–1131, May, 1987.
