note = "Funding Information: Another glucosidic com- ponent of the mixture (9) isolated in 15% yield contained only one benzyl group and could not be crystallized. Similar benzylation of (3)at room temperature with NaH and benzyl chloride in dimethylformamide or KOBu t and benzyl chloride in tetrahydrofuran produced better yields of (8) (30-40%), together with some monobenzylated product (9). The increase in yield observed in the last two benzylations is probably due to the better swelling proper- ties of dimethylformamide and tetrahydrofuran as com-pared to Me,SO. Thus, accessibility of the reactive sites is favoured in the better swelling agents and this results in a more complete benzylation. The fact that a monobenzyl derivative of (3)is obtained in the benzylations may reflect the difficulty of preparing anions on some of the less accessible sites of the resin where ion-ion repulsions may become very important, a fact illustrated by the difficulties experienced3 in the acid-base titrations of resins containing carboxylic acid functional groups.
