Classical One Step Syntheses of Monoand Di-Nitrate Sugars via Triflates

Abstract
A new approach for the synthesis of some sugar nitrates is described. The reaction sequence consists of esterifying partially protected carbohydrates with trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride and reacting the resulting triflates with tetrabutylammonium nitrate. This procedure is mild, convenient and has the advantage of protecting highly acid-labile groups.
