SnCl4 induced formation of C3–C11 alkenyl galactopyranosides as precursors for unsaturated neutral bolaforms

Abstract

The SnCl4 catalyzed glycosylation reaction of peracetylated b-D-galactopyranose derivatives with terminally unsaturated C3–C11 alkenols was used for the synthesis of some C3–C11 alkenyl b-D-galactopyranosides, as precursors for unsaturated neutral bolaforms.
