Microwave-assisted synthesis of long-chain alkyl glucopyranosides

Abstract

Long-chain (C6 to C16) alkyl glucopyranosides have been synthesized using microwave irradiation. Yields and anomeric ratios can be controlled under precise and short irradiation times (few min). Comparison with classical heating showed a better efficiency of microwaves.
