Studies on Glycosides. X. An Alternate Method For Highly Stereoselective Synthesis of Alkyl-β-D-glucopyranosides

Abstract
An alternate method for the synthesis of alkyl-β-D-glucopyranosides using 2,3,4,6-terta-O-acetyl-1-O-trifluoroacetyl-α-D-glucopyranose with alcohols or phenols in the presence of Lewis acid at low temperature was reported. β-anomers were the sole product or predominated.
