Synthesis of N-Acetylglucosamine Aryl β-Glycosides Catalyzed by Crown Compounds

Abstract

Glycosylation of various phenols with α-D-glucosaminyl chloride peracetate in a solid phase–liquid system catalyzed by crown compounds was studied. The highest yields of aryl β-glycosides were observed at room temperature in acetonitrile using anhydrous potassium carbonate as a base. The optimum phenol–glycosyl donor–base–crown ether ratio was 1 : 1 : 1 : 0.2.
