A new method for the synthesis of stannyl ethers by acid-catalyzed reaction of alcohols with allyltributylstannane
Stannyl ethers are prepared by triflic acid-catalyzed reaction of alcohols with tributylstannane or allyltributylstannane at room temperature. The stannyl ethers thus prepared can be successfully used for the beta-bromogycoside-mediated glycosylation reactions.
