ChemInform Abstract: Stereoselective Glycosylation of Steroid Alcohols Using 2,3,4,6‐Tetra‐O‐pivaloyl‐ α‐D‐glucopyranosyl Bromide (Pivalobromoglucose) and 2,3,4,6‐Tetra‐O‐(o‐toluoyl)‐ α‐D‐glucopyranosyl Bromide.

Abstract Structurally diverse steroid alcohols of type (I) possessing hydroxylic functions of electronically and sterically different reactivity and, furthermore, including sensitive groups, are effectively and selectively converted into their β‐glycosides (III) using the bromide (II).
