Chemical synthesis of terpenoid 0-glycosides /

Abstract

The following work describes new synthetic routes toward terpenoid-Oglycosides. Two different approaches have been studied to add terpene functionality to the anomeric position of a D-Glucose. Firstly, a variety of glycosyl halides were investigated as intermediates to produce the C-O bond at the anomeric position. The second approach incorporated the classic Fischer glycosylation with protected and unprotected sugars reacting with terpene alcohols.
