Abstract
The reagent (phenyldimethylsilyl)methoxymethyl chioride (SMOM-Cl) proved to be very convenient for the formation of the corresponding SMOM ethers of primary and secondary hydroxyls of sugars. Further, (phenyldimethylsilyl)methanol (SMOH), the precursor of SMOM-Cl, could be used for the protection of the anomeric centre with the SM group. Both protecting groups can be removed smoothly by oxidation with KBr/AcOOH, and are compatible with protecting group manipulations in sugar chemistry.
