Abstract
To prepare C-sulfonate derivatives of disaccharides two different strategies were followed. Thus 6- and 6′-C-sulfocellobiosides 4 and 10–12 were prepared starting from a suitably protected cellobioside. The 6′-C-sulfoaminocellobioside 18 was prepared by construction of the molecule through a glycosylation reaction. In both cases, the synthetic pathway involves regioselective tosylation, introduction of a sulfur atom by nucleophilic displacement with potassium thioacetate and oxidation with hydrogen peroxide.
