Abstract: 6-O-Acyl derivatives of 1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D-galactopyranose are formed as toy-products upon TrClO4-catalysed glycosylation of 1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-6-0-trityl-α-D-galactopyranose with 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-1,2-E-(1-cyanoalkylidene)-α-D-galactopyranoses. Increase in the solvent polarity hinders the formation of the by-products. The above side reaction is rationalised in terms of 1,2-orthoester intermediacy.
