title: Silver(I) oxide-mediated regioselective 2-monoacylation in 3-O-benzyl-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosides and application in synthesis of a protected tetrasaccharide fragment of potent cytotoxic saponins gleditsiosides C and D.
abstract: The axial 2-hydroxyl group of methyl and allyl 3-O-benzyl-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosides was selectively acylated in 56-78% yields by reaction with 1.1 equiv of acyl chloride in the presence of 1.5 equiv of silver(I) oxide. Use of the method permitted a convenient synthesis of a protected tetrasaccharide fragment of triterpene saponins gleditsiosides C and D.
