Abstract: 2,3,4,6-Tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-glucosyl bromide reacts with carboxylic acids in the presence of phase transfer catalysts to give carbohydrate esters. There are many advantages in this method, such as good yields, mild reaction conditions and high stereospecificity. The results conclusively disproved a report by Inch and his co-workers that the phase-transfer method requires a nonparticipating group at C-2 or C-6 in the carbohydrate moiety.
