| Sulfonate esters, derived from the reaction of organic sulfonyl chlorides (e.g., benzene-, methane-, or toluene sulfonyl chloride) in the presence of tertiary amines, can be employed as partially protected (to destabilize glycosidic linkages) or reactive intermediates, which can undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions with amines, azides, halogens, phenols, substituted phosphoric acids, thiocyanates, thiols and thiophenols. |
