Abstract

A 1,2-cis-(α)-selective glycosylation has been developed. An ortho-xylylene group bridged between 3-O and 6-O of d-glucosyl fluoride, which straddles the β-face of the pyranose ring, hinders the ­approach of glycosyl acceptors from that face. The determination of the three-dimensional structure of the bridged glucosyl fluoride, the optimization process of the reaction conditions oriented toward kinetic control to realize the high α-selectivity, and the scope of the reaction are described.
