A mild, efficient and alpha-selective glycosidation by using potassium dodecatungstocobaltate trihydrate as catalyst

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2004 Jul 5;14(13):3611-4. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2004.03.110.

Abstract

Treatment of tri-O-acetyl-d-glucal 1 with several alcohols in the presence of catalytic amount of POM (K(5)CoW(12)O(40).3H(2)O) as a heterogeneous, reusable, efficient and environmentally benign catalyst under neutral conditions and ambient temperature gave the corresponding 2,3-unsaturated glycopyranosides in excellent yields, with good anomeric selectivity. This catalyst proved to be not efficient for phenols.
