A convenient synthesis of glycosyl chlorides from sugar hemiacetals using triphosgene as the chlorine source

Carbohydr Res. 2000 Sep 22;328(3):431-4. doi: 10.1016/s0008-6215(00)00115-4.

Abstract

Treating partially protected sugar hemiacetals with triphosgene in THF results in the formation of glycosyl chlorides. The method is compatible with acid-sensitive isopropylidene protecting groups in the hemiacetal substrates.
