Abstract

β-Rhamnosylation of methyl 2-C-hydroxymethyl-2,3-O-isopropylidene- β-D-erythrofuranoside and methyl 2,3-O-isopropylidene-β-D- ribofuranoside was achieved using 4-O-acetyl-2,3-O-carbonyl-α-L- rhamnopyranosyl bromide and Ag2O as a promoter. Deprotected disaccharides β-L-Rhap-(1→3)-β-D-Apif-OMe and β-L-Rhap-(1→3)-β-D-Ribf-OMe were compared to their α-rhamnosyl isomers which were prepared using conventional Helferich glycosylation.
