Abstract

Molecular iodine catalyzes acetalation and acetylation of sugars with stoichiometric amounts of enol acetates under solvent-free conditions to give orthogonally protected sugar derivatives in short time and good yields. At lower temperature, it is possible to obtain the acetonide acetate as a single product whereas peracetate is the major product at higher temperature.
