title: Highly efficient and stereoselective synthesis of beta-glycolipids.
abstract: beta-Galactosylceramide and glycolipid analogues were prepared in high yield and with complete chemo and stereoselectivity by reaction of alpha-iodo glycosides with stannyl ceramides, formed in situ. TBAI was used to activate both the iodogalactose and the stannyl ether.
