Reaction Steps

If the procedure described in Preparation I is followed starting from 10 g (64.5.10-3 mol) of 3-nitrobenzenethiol, 16.29 g (64.5.10-3 mol) of mercuric cyanide (Hg(CN)2) and 25.2 g (70.9.10-3 mol) of 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-5-thio-α-D-xylopyranosyl bromide, 7.44 g (yield: 27%) of the expected product are obtained after purification by flash chromatography using a toluene/ethyl acetate mixture (9/1 v/v) as the eluent, followed by crystallization from ether.
