Trityl chloride → HCID 13633137, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A pyridine solution (100 ml) of 35 g (0.096 mole) of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-1-thio-β-D-glucopyranose [Methods in Carbohydrate Chemistry, Vol. 2, 436 (1963)] and 28 g (0.10 mole) of triphenylmethyl chloride was stirred at room temperature for 12 hours. The solution was filtered and the pyridine removed at reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in chloroform (350 ml), washed with water (5 × 100 ml) and the chloroform solution dried in magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed at reduced pressure and the residue dissolved in methanol and cooled to give 17 g (29%) of crystalline 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-1-S-trityl-1-thio-β-D-glucopyranose, m.p. 177°-179°; [α]D25 (1% methanol) = -37.8°.
