Abstract

We report an efficient synthesis of tetra??and hexa??substituted carbohydrate??coated compounds, which we have named “star??like” surfactants, starting from either α?? methylglucose or myo??inositol as a central core. The synthesis explores a new approach to such multipolar compounds using [3+ 2] copper (I)??catalyzed cycloadditions to attach the respective building blocks.
