title: Preparation of sucrose heptaesters unsubstituted at the C-1 hydroxy group of the fructose moiety via selective O-desilylation.
abstract: Selective O-desilylation of 6,1',6'-tri-O-tert-butyldiphenylsilyl-2,3,4,3',4'-penta-O-benzo ylsucrose with hydrofluoric acid in acetonitrile led to the 1'-O-tert-butyldiphenylsilyl derivative (96% yield), which was further perbenzoylated and deprotected at OH-1' with tetrabutylammonium fluoride (86%). An analogous sequence with the corresponding O-acetylated sucrose derivative and tetrabutylammonium fluoride as desilylating agent resulted in a lower yield of the C-1' hydroxy derivative.
