Abstract:
Preparation of a variety of per-O-acylated O- and S-glycosides of a set of commonly encountered mono- and disaccharides has been achieved effectively by solvent-free grinding of the corresponding acetylated/benzoylated glycosyl bromide and the desired acceptor alcohol/thiol in the presence of bismuth carbonate in a planetary ball mill. The method is simple, requires short reaction time periods and is practical allowing it to be performed at a milligram-to multi-gram scale as required. In the cases where the product is crystalline, it was often obtained in practically pure form by crystallization (and without the need for chromatographic isolation).

The acid-catalyzed addition of water to the double bond of alkenes is a large-scale industrial method used to synthesize low-molecular-weight alcohols. An acidic atmosphere is required to allow the hydrogen in the water molecule to act as an electrophile and attack the double bond in an alkene. The addition of a proton to the double bond creates a carbocation intermediate. The proton preferentially bonds to the less substituted end of the double bond to create a more stable carbocation...
