Abstract Aryl β-d-glycopyranosides have been synthesized by coupling acetovanillone (4- hydroxy-3-methoxyacetophenone) with d-glucose, d-galactose, and maltose; acetosyringone (4-hydroxy-3, 5-dimethoxyacetophenone) with d-glucose and d-galactose; syringaldehyde (3-methoxyvanillin) with d-glucose; and syringic acid (4-hydroxy-3, 5- dimethoxybenzoic acid) with d-glucose. The Mauthner's procedure using peracetylated ...
