The application of phenylmethanethiol and benzenethiol derivatives as odorless organosulfur reagents in the synthesis of thiosugars and thioglycosides

Carbohydr Res. 2005 Oct 31;340(15):2360-8. doi: 10.1016/j.carres.2005.07.011.

Abstract

p-octyloxyphenylmethanethiol and p-dodecylbenzenethiol were prepared as new odorless organosulfur reagents. Thiosugars and thioglycosides were synthesized using these reagents without encountering any malodorous procedures.
