Reaction Steps
To a solution of ethyl 2-O-benzyl-6-deoxy-1-thio-β-D-galactopyranoside (1.03 g, 3.45 mmol) and DMAP (126 mg, 1.0 mmol) in 10 mL of dry CH2Cl2 at −30° C. was added Et3N (1.92 mL, 13.8 mmol). Benzoyl chloride (0.4 mL, 3.45 mmol) was added to this mixture in a dropwise fashion, and the stirred at −30° C. for 3 hr. The reaction was then quenched by the addition of MeOH (2 mL) and the mixture was gradually warmed to room temperature after which the resulting mixture was diluted with EtOAc (250 mL). The solution was washed with saturated NaHCO3 solution (2×20 mL), water (30 mL), dried over Na2SO4, concentrated and purified by flash chromatography (3:1 to 1:1 hexane/EtOAc) to give 1.12 g (80%) of the title product.
