Abstract

Glycosyl chlorides and bromides can be rapidly converted to glycals in high yield by reaction with (Cp2Ti [III] Cl) 2. This reagent tolerates a wide range of common carbohydrate protecting groups, including silyl ethers, acetals, and esters; the methodology provides a general route for the preparation of glycals substituted with both acid-and base-labile functionality. A reaction mechanism is proposed that is based on heteroatom abstraction ...
