Preparation of New Terpenyl β‐ D ‐Glucopyranosides by a Modified Königs‐Knorr Procedure

Ten new hemi‐ and monoterpenyl β‐D‐glucopyranosides have been prepared by a modification of the Königs‐Knorr procedure which utilises silver fluoroacetate as a soluble catalyst coupled with the introduction of a basic ion‐exchange resin to effect the deacetylation step. Most of these compounds could not be obtained in acceptable yields using the classical procedure.
