Monoalkylation of methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-α-D-gluco- and galactopyranosides could be carried out in good yields using bis(tributyltin) oxide. Regioselectivity, giving predominant 2-substitution, was excellent in the case of D-glucopyranoside. The ratio of the tin reagent to that of the substrate seems to be critical in determining the yield and the extent of regioselectivity. Alkylation could also be carried out in solvents at a slower rate, using less reagent, but the regioselectivity was lower.

锡试剂与底物的比例似乎是决定产率和区域选择性程度的关键。烷基化也可以在溶剂中进行,速度较慢,使用的试剂较少,但区域选择性较低。
