The Preparation and Crystal Structure of Benzyl 3,4,6-Tri-O-methylsulfonyl-β-D-glucopyranoside

Abstract

A series of methylsulfonyl derivatives of benzyl β-D-glucopyranoside has been prepared and isolated and the crystal structure of one, benzyl 3,4,6-tri-O-methylsulfonyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (3), as a dimethyl sulfoxide solvate determined by X-ray diffraction and refined to a residual R 0.035 for 1714 observed reflections.
