Carbohydrate functionalization using cationic iron carbonyl complexes

Journal article, 2008

Cationic iron carbonyl cyclohexadiene complexes were employed in the derivatization of the 3-OH position of unprotected and protected methyl β-d-galactopyranosides using two different approaches, giving access to galactopyranosides with an aromatic or cyclohexadienoic functionality in this position. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
