Using Protecting Groups Flashcards
1
Q
how can we form beta 1,4-glycosidic linkage between 2 glucoses?
A
nature: enzymes (not efficient in lab/large scale)
synthetically-difficult b/c stereochem, lots of OHs, solubility problems
2
Q
glycosyl donor
A
suitable L.G. necessary at C1
glycosyl halide activated by lewis base
this is E+
3
Q
glycosyl acceptor
A
need C-OH unprotected
all other OHs protected
this is Nu
4
Q
how to only form 1,4 Beta
A
neighboring group participation of C2 blocks bottom p-orbital of C1
