Microwave Effect for Glycosylation Promoted by Solid Super Acid in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

  • Hiroshi Hinou,
  • Naohiro Saito,
  • Masato Ogawa,
  • Takahiko Maeda and
  • Shin-Ichiro Nishimura

8 December 2009

The effects of microwave irradiation (2.45 GHz, 200 W) on glycosylation promoted by a solid super acid in supercritical carbon dioxide was investigated with particular attention paid to the structure of the acceptor substrate. Because of the symmetri...
