New Phenyl 6,4′-Substituted-1-Thio-β-Maltosides, Building Blocks for The Synthesis of Linear and Branched Malto-oligosaccharides

Abstract
An efficient strategy to synthesize a number of new phenylthio-maltoside derivatives in yields from 55 to 95% is described. These derivatives can be used as suitable building blocks for stepwise synthesis of starch derived malto-oligosaccharides.
