Tandem Catalysis for a One‐Pot Regioselective Protection of Carbohydrates: The Example of Glucose

Abstract

Fine-tuning the conditions for a tandem reaction using a single catalyst in a single reaction vessel leads to carbohydrate building blocks displaying different patterns of protecting groups (see picture). This process greatly simplifies the access to oligomers, as illustrated by the rapid assembly of a trisaccharide.
