Abstract:
The coupling of 2,3,6,2',3',4',6-hepta-O-acetyl-alpha-lactosyl bromide with 1,4-di-O-benzyl-D-threitol using mercury(II) cyanide as a promoter, with subsequent deprotection of one or both of the benzyl groups, further glycosylation, and deacetylation afforded the title compounds. This class of compound is useful in the assessment of binding properties of D-galactopyranose to human and rabbit hepatocytes.

Preparation and Reactions of Thiols
Thiols are prepared using the hydrosulfide anion as a nucleophile in a nucleophilic substitution reaction with alkyl halides. For instance, bromobutane reacts with sodium hydrosulfide to give butanethiol.
Alkylation of β-Ketoester Enolates: Acetoacetic Ester Synthesis
Acetoacetic ester synthesis is a method to obtain ketones from alkyl halides and β-keto esters. The reaction occurs in the presence of an alkoxide base that abstracts the acidic proton of the β-keto esters. The step results in an enolate ion which is doubly stabilized. The enolate then reacts with an alkyl halide via the SN2 process to produce an alkylated ester intermediate with a new C–C bond. The hydrolysis of the intermediate, followed by acidification, results in an alkylated β-keto acid.
