One-pot alpha-glycosylation method using Appel agents in N,N-dimethylformamide

Org Lett. 2003 Jul 10;5(14):2377-80. doi: 10.1021/ol034269+.

Abstract

[reaction: see text] A concept for the development of practical glycosylation is presented and demonstrated by one-pot alpha-glycosylation applying Appel agents for 2-O-benzyl-1-OH hexoses in DMF. The reaction, in situ giving the equilibrium of glycosyl bromides and more reactive O-glycoside intermediates, accomplishes a near-quantitative alpha-glycosylation removing the water molecules.
