Abstract

Abstract An efficient per-O-acetylation of carbohydrate derivatives and unprotected reducing sugars promoted by imidazole is reported. The reaction conditions have been successfully employed to acetylate carbohydrate derivatives containing acid-susceptible functional groups. In most of the cases the yields obtained were excellent.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2005)
