Abstract

Glycosidation of fully acetylated glucopyranosyl iodide with methanol under the influence of iodine gave α-glucoside selectively. Use of less reactive acceptors led to the formation of α/β-mixtures. Glycosylations with fully benzoylated glucosyl iodide yielded β-glucosides only. In contrast, iodine-promoted glycosylation of serine and threonine with 2-azido-2-deoxy-glycosyl iodides, easily obtained in three steps, proceeded smoothly, resulting in only α-linked products in high yield in most cases.
