Boranophosphate Diesters as Stable Synthetic Analogues of 1-O-Glycosylphosphates

Different 1-O-glycosylboranophosphate diesters were synthesised as stable analogues of 1-O-glycosylphosphates, using a one-pot procedure based on the anomeric H-phosphonate of 2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-α-l-rhamnopyranose as a common precursor.
