title: A Solvent-free Approach to Glycosyl Amides: Towards the Synthesis of α-N-Galactosyl Ceramides.
abstract: A new, simple and efficient method for the synthesis of both α- and β-glycosyl amides using solvent-free conditions is described. This method involves the coupling of glycosyl amines with thep-nitrophenol esters of lipids as a key step.
