title: Reagent-dependent regioselective control in multiple carbohydrate esterifications.
abstract: Regioselective control in organotin-mediated multiple acylation of carbohydrates is presented. The acylation reagent could be efficiently used to direct the product formation. Reagent-dependent thermodynamic and kinetic control and dynamic assistance mechanisms are suggested, resulting in the efficient preparation of building blocks that normally require many steps with traditional synthesis.
