title: A selective electrochemical method of glycosylation of 3beta-hydroxy-Delta 5-steroids.
abstract: A new electrochemical glycosylation method is presented. According to the method cholesterol and other 3beta-hydroxy-Delta(5)-steroids can be selectively transformed to glycosides using non-activated sugars. The method is also useful for the synthesis of glycoconjugates with sugar linked to a steroid moiety by an ether bond.
