Silicomolybdic Acid Cluster as Biocompatible Catalyst for One-Pot Tandem Synthesis of Orthogonally Protected Glycosides.

The present paper describes a new and practical approach for the one-pot preparation of -isopropylidene derivatives and also orthogonally protected - and -glycosides from the corresponding unprotected saccharides by employing 2 mol % of a silicomolybdic acid (SMA) cluster as a versatile and biocompatible catalyst.
