Abstract

Glycosyl selenoacetate derivatives were prepared by the treatment of glycosyl halide with potassium selenocyanate followed by acetylation of in situ generated glycosyl selenols in one pot. A variety of selenoglycosides and selenium linked disaccharide derivatives were prepared in very good to excellent yields using glycosyl selenoacetates as stable building blocks under mild reaction conditions.
