title: Synthesis of seleno-carbohydrates derived from D-galactose.
abstract: The synthesis of seleno-galactopyranosides in a short and efficient manner is described, starting from the parent carbohydrate d-galactose. The approach described allows the synthesis of small libraries of compounds with a number of structural variations at the group attached to selenium. Compounds with aryl, propargyl, allyl, acyl, and alkyl substituents are described.
