Abstract

Glycosyl iodides of protected d-glucosamine are generated in situ under mild conditions and coupled with different kinds of nucleophiles, providing the corresponding β-glycosides in good yields.

To a solution of compound 1 and 2 (0.66 mmol, 1 equiv) in CH2Cl2 (3 mL) at 0 °C TMSI (1.1 equiv) was added under inert atmosphere. The reaction mixture was stirred at r.t. until disappearance of the starting material (about 30 min), then cooled to -78 °C. On the other hand, compound 3 (0.63 mmol, 1 equiv) was dissolved in toluene (3 mL) and TMSI (1.1 equiv) was added at 0 °C under inert atmosphere. The solution was stirred at 80 °C for 45 min, then the solvent was evaporated. The residue was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (3 mL) under inert atmosphere and the solution cooled at -78 °C. The nucleophile and the acidic promoter (when necessary, see text) were added, the solution was allowed to reach r.t. and stirred for 6-8 h. Standard workup and silica gel chromatography gave the β-glycoside. When silylated compound 2 was employed as starting material (entries 10-13 in Table [1] ), MeOH was added after glycosylation to remove the trimethylsilyl groups. After stirring 20 min, the solvent was evaporated in vacuo and the crude residue was submitted to standard acetylation.
