Development and Investigation of a Dehydrative Glycosylation With Activated Diphenyl Sulfonium Reagents

Abstract

dc:description

Mechanistic studies suggest that the glycosyl donor is initially activated via nucleophilic attack of the hemiacetal hydroxyl upon the sulfonium center of diphenylsulfide bis(trifluoromethanesulfonate), leading to formation of a glycosyl oxosulfonium. Low temperature NMR studies have revealed that a glycosyl pyridiniurn is subsequently formed in the latter stages of the glycosylation. Additional data suggests, however, that the reactive intermediate is likely a glycosyl oxocarbenium.
