Regioselective protection of sugars catalyzed by dimethyltin dichloride.
The first catalytic process for protection of hydroxyl groups in sugars has been developed. Highly regioselective protection was accomplished along with high chemical yield. The regioselectivity of the benzoylation was realized as an intrinsic character of sugars based on a stereorelationship among their hydroxyl groups. Furthermore, complete protection of alpha-methyl glucoside and beta-methyl xyloside was accomplished.
