General description

p-Toluenesulfonic anhydride acts as electrophilic species and activates 2-deoxy-sugar hemiacetals in situ, which reacts stereoselectively with nucleophilic acceptors to afford β-anomers.

Application

p-Toluenesulfonic anhydride has been employed as reagent in palladium-catalyzed allylic alkenylation of allylic alcohols with n-butyl acrylate.

The efficient and stereoselective construction of glycosidic linkages remains one of the most formidable challenges in organic chemistry. This is especially true in cases such as β-linked deoxy-sugars, where the outcome of the reaction cannot be controlled using the stereochemical
