A1 - Yin, Jian A1 - Linker, Torsten T1 - Barton radical reactions of 2-C-branched carbohydrates T2 - Organic & biomolecular chemistry : an international journal of synthetic, physical and biomolecular organic chemistry N2 - Barton esters have been introduced into the side chain of carbohydrates with high yields in only a few steps from easily available glycals. Their radical reactions afford 2-C-methyl and 2-C-bromomethyl hexoses, pentoses and disaccharides in good yields in analytically pure form. Since the Barton esters have been synthesized by an oxidative radical addition and their transformations by reductive radical processes, our results demonstrate the power of such reactions in carbohydrate chemistry.
