Abstract

Abstract Image

A concise and convenient route that may be easily scaled is reported for the preparation of unprotected β-glucopyranosides of N-acetyl-d-glucosamine. Reaction of a wide variety of alcohols with a reactive, readily prepared furanosyl oxazoline under acidic conditions affords the corresponding β-d-glucopyranosides in good to high yields. Primary alcohols gave only β-d-glucopyranosides. A mechanism is proposed for this transformation.
