Monosaccharides hydroxyl groups, reaction with benzyl

The kinetics of the reaction of hydroxyl groups of monosaccharides and polyols with benzyl isothiocyanate has been checked by Augustin and Balaz using UV spectroscopy.289 However, because of the reversibility of the reaction, this procedure is not. of synthetic utility. O-Sugar thiocarbamates have been more conveniently prepared by aminolysis of thiocarbonate derivatives290,291 or by thiocarbamoylation of free hydroxy] groups with 1,1 -tbiocarbonyldiimidazoie.7 286 288...
