Synthesis of Sugar Nitrates by Nucleophilic Substitution

Authors:

Abstract
A rapid high‐yielding synthesis of sugar mono‐ and dinitrates has been achieved via displacement of the trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy (triflate) by the nitrate group. This procedure is mild, convenient, and does not attack highly acid‐labile groups. It also does not experience difficulties by neighboring‐group participation which are sometimes encountered in displacement reactions with carbohydrates.
