A study of polymer-supported bases for the solution phase synthesis of glycosyl trichloroacetimidates

Polystyrene-supported strong organic bases are highly efficient reagents for the solution-phase synthesis of glycosyl trichloroacetimidates, affording quantitative yields of pure products in short reaction times after simple filtration and evaporation. Although efficiency of the different bases varies with substrate structure, polymer-bound 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene was found to give the best results for all the substrates tested.
