Abstract

A convenient one-pot protocol for the direct conversion of acyl-protected carbohydrates into their alkylated counterparts has been developed by using alkyl halides in the presence of solid sodium hydroxide and a phase transfer catalyst. These economically convenient, mild, two-phase reaction conditions allow the preparation of a variety of monosaccharide intermediates for use in the synthesis of complex oligosaccharides.
