Abstract

Benzoylation of methyl and benzyl glycopyranosides by benzoic anhydride in acetonitrile in the presence of copper(II) trifluoroacetate as a promoter has given monobenzoates with a good yield and high regioselectivity. The composition of monobenzoates depended both on a configuration of hydroxyl groups and on a configuration of aglycone. The simple syntheses of the monobenzoates of some glycosides are offered.
