• (Scheme 4) [20]. The reaction of 1b with 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-O-benzoyl-α-ᴅ-glucosyl trichloroacetimidate (6a) afforded indigo-N-glycoside 7a. The benzoyl group located at OH-2 seemed to be unreactive enough to avoid formation of orthoester-like amide acetals during the N-glycosylation with 1b. Oxidative

• cyclization of 4e with oxalyl chloride afforded yellow isatin-N-glycoside 16a as an anomeric mixture from which the pure α- and β-anomer could be separated by chromatography. Likewise, isatin-N-glycosides 16b–f were prepared which were all isolated (except from rhamnoside 16b) as the pure β-anomers. The

• ). Dehydrogenation of the latter with DDQ afforded the anomerically pure indol-N-glycoside β-26a which upon benzylation and methylation gave products β-27a and β-27b, respectively. Iodination gave products β-28a and β-28b, however, due to the basic reaction conditions (I2, NaOH, DMF), ether rather than ester

•  4). The reaction between Nam (1a) and 1,2,3,5-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-ribofuranose (2a) in acetonitrile at room temperature resulted in the corresponding triacetate derivative of NR+ triflate (OTf−) 9a which was converted without isolation into NR+OTf− by methanolysis. The final N-glycoside contained 13

Keywords: acylated sugars; azidation; gold(III) bromide; N-glycoside; oxophilicity; Introduction The past few decades had seen the enrichment of transition metal complexes in various glycosylation strategies [1]. In particular, gold complexes with

• activated by TMSOTf were conducted, and followed by Zemplén cleavage. Similarly, three equivalents of thioglycosides 17 and 19 were added three times (triple coupling) for each glycosylation employing DMTST or NIS/TfOH as an activator. In both instances, surprisingly, only N-glycoside 20 (minor product) and

• -phase oligosaccharide synthesis were discovered. The sulfamyl group can be attacked by excess glycosylating agent to give the unexpected resin-bound N-glycoside, which may block additional reaction sequences and extension of the oligosaccharide [28]. In addition, sodium methoxide can directly cleave the

Only the corresponding O-glycoside 1l was obtained, and no N-glycoside was formed in this Helferich glycosylation (Scheme 1). Sterically hindered 6-tert-butyl-2-hydroxypyridine was chosen as the
