    Abstract:
    Four methods have been screened for the synthesis of some alpha-D-glucopyranosides, with the recently reported (Mukaiyama) combination of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl iodide and triphenylphosphine oxide being the most successful, especially in the diastereoselectivity exhibited. The alpha-D-glucopyranosides so obtained have been deprotected to yield 2-, 3-, 4- and 6-O-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-D-galactopyranose. Only the last disaccharide showed any hydrolysis by alpha-glycosidases but this success was not emulated by mucosal extracts from the small intestine of the pig.
