Abstract
An efficient, convenient protocol for the preparation of per-O-acetylated p-tolylthio glycosides is described. Treatment of various unprotected sugars, including 2-deoxy-2-amino sugars, sialic acid, lactose, and maltose, with acetic anhydride using SnCl4 as a catalyst, and subsequently with p-tolylthiol, furnished the corresponding thioglycosides in 71%–90% yield under solvent-free conditions.
