Synthesis of new heterocyclic derivatives of α,α-trehalose

Several novel N-1, N-2, and S-5 tetrazole and 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives of α,α-trehalose disubstituted at C-6,6′, with potential synthetic and pharmacological interest were prepared from commercial tetrazoles and 1,3,4-oxadiazoles in reaction with hexa-O-benzyl-6,6′-di-O-triflyl-α,α-trehalose.
