Abstract
Abstract During the methylation of ethyl 2,3,4,-tri- O -acetyl-β- D -glucopyranoside with methyl iodide and silver oxide in N,N -dimethylformamide, an O-4→O-6 acyl migration occurs to give ethyl 2,3,6-tri- O -acetyl-4- O -methyl-β- D -glucopyranoside; a concomitant O-3→O-4 migration gives rise to a 3- O -methyl derivative.
