SYNTHESIS OF CONDURITOL EPOXIDES AND AZIRIDINES AND METHODS OF USING SUCH TO SYNTHESIZE HIGHER DISACCHARIDES

摘要

There are described novel coupling reactions useful for the preparation of cyclitol and/or carbohydrate conjugates and carbocyclic analogs thereof. Such coupling reactions employ epoxides and/or aziridines described herein as electrophilic recipients of other cyclitol or carbohydrate units. Also provided are certain novel compounds.
