General description

p-Toluenesulfonic anhydride acts as electrophilic species and activates 2-deoxy-sugar hemiacetals in situ, which reacts stereoselectively with nucleophilic acceptors to afford β-anomers.

Application

p-Toluenesulfonic anhydride has been employed as reagent in palladium-catalyzed allylic alkenylation of allylic alcohols with n-butyl acrylate.

Various allylic alcohols reacted with n-butyl acrylate in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic anhydride and palladium catalysts to yield the corresponding n-butyl 2,5-dienoates with high regioselectivity.
John Paul Issa et al.
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 136(15), 5740-5744 (2014-03-29)
The efficient and stereoselective construction of glycosidic linkages remains one of the most formidable challenges in organic chemistry. This is especially true in cases such as β-linked deoxy-sugars, where the outcome of the reaction cannot be controlled using the stereochemical
