title: Regioselective C-3-O-acylation and O-methylation of 4,6-O-benzylidene-beta-D-gluco- and galactopyranosides displaying a range of anomeric substituents.
abstract: The regioselective C-3-O-acylation and O-methylation of a range of 4,6-O-benzylidene-beta-D-gluco- and galactopyranosides has been studied. Regioselectivity is achieved by forming the copper chelate of the 2,3-diol using either sodium hydride and copper(II) chloride, or copper(II) acetylacetanoate, or copper(II) acetate, prior to introduction of the acylating or methylating agent.
