Synthesis of oligosaccharides on polymer supports. Part II. Synthesis of β-D-gentiobiose derivatives on soluble support copolymers of styrene and 6-O-(p-vinylbenzoyl) or 6-O-(p-vinylphenylsulphonyl) derivatives ofD-glucopyranose

Abstract
Styrene-based copolymers incorporating 1,2,3,4-tetra-O-acetyl-6-O-(p-vinylbenzoyl)-β-D-glucopyranose and the 6-O-(p-vinylphenylsulphonyl) analogue have been prepared and used as soluble support polymers for the synthesis of β-D-gentiobiose derivatives.
