New access to C-disaccharide analogs of alpha, alpha-trehalose using an aqueous hetero Diels-Alder reaction

Carbohydr Res. 1997 Jan 2;297(2):169-74. doi: 10.1016/s0008-6215(96)00267-4.

Abstract

C-disaccharide analogs of trehalose were prepared using an aqueous Diels-Alder reaction as a key step. The resulting major stereoisomer was shown by NMR spectroscopy analysis to have the correct (alpha, alpha') stereochemistry of trehalose.
