BF(3).Et(2)O-catalysed O-glycosylation of 1,2,3-tri-O-acetyl-4,6-O-butylidene- and ethylidene-beta-d-glucopyranose with different aliphatic and aromatic alcohols proceeds for the most part with complete retention of anomeric configuration. Antioxidant activity of O-glycosides shows significant inhibition (IC(50) approximately 77%). 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of terminal alkyne derivatives of
