✦ Synopsis
The selective protection of carbohydrates and their derivatives is a subject of continuing interest1+2 and it has recently assumed increased importance as a result of the current widespread use of carbohydrates as a source of chiral building blocks for the synthesis of natural products -3 5. Therefore, the report6 that trichloroacetylation of alcohols by hexachloroacetone, in the presence of strong hydrogen-bond acceptors, is a stereoselective process, which allows, for example, the acylation of l-propanol in the presence of 2-propanol with 94% selectivity, led us to examine the applicability of this type of reaction in carbohydrate chemistry. We now report on the reaction of methyl cY-D-glucopyranoside (1) with hexachloroacetone and pentachloroacetone.
