Facile synthesis of 1-thio-β-lactoside clusters scaffolded onto p-methoxyphenyl, β-d-galactopyranoside, β-d-glucopyranoside, and lactoside Original Research Article

The free-radical addition of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-d-galactopyranosyl-(1→4)-2,3,6-tri-O-acetyl-1-thio-β-d-glucopyranose to the allyl ether functions of p-methoxyphenyl per-O-allyl-d-galactopyranoside, d-glucopyranoside, and lactoside provides a concise and effective route for synthesis of glycoside clusters, of use for exploring anti-metastatic activity.
