title = "Iodine: A versatile reagent in carbohydrate chemistry III. Efficient activation of glycosyl halides in combination with DDQ1",
abstract = "Iodine, either alone or in combination with DDQ, has been found to serve as a very efficient reagent for the conversion of 'disarmed' glycosyl halides into simple 1,2-trans-glycosides. This reagent system represents a practical alternative to traditional heavy metal promoters in glycoside synthesis.",
