Vol. 43, No. 47, pp. 8503-8505.http://hdl.handle.net/10454/3919NoThe S-xanthenyl (Xan) group was demonstrated to have potential as a convenient protecting group for 1-thiosugars in the synthesis of thioglycosides. Easily introduced by reaction of a 1-thiosugar with 9-hydroxyxanthene in the presence of catalytic TFA, the S-Xan group is compatible with a wide range of functionalities and protecting groups.enS-xanthenyl (Xan)ThioglycosidesSynthesisArticlehttps://doi.org/10.1016/S0040-4039(02)02070-1
