Novel glycosides containing novel leaving groups, pyridyloxy, pyrimidyloxy, methoxypyridyloxy, pyridyl carbonate and pyridyl thiocarbonate are utilized in many fertile syntheses of glycosides, disaccharides, trisaccharides, oligosaccharides, nucleosides and the like. These synthetic schemes are superior in stereospecificity, yield and speed of preparation of numerous novel compounds. Polymer supported syntheses may be utilized within the general scheme to provide enhanced product purity. |
