We report the strategy for the stereoselective synthesis of 1,2-trans glycosides in the absence of NGP (neighboring group participation). Present protocol for the selective glycosylation mainly rely on catalyst control rather than protecting group selection. Using this protocol, several glycosides were prepared. Cost effective zinc acetate was found to be the best catalyst that provided desired 1,2-trans glycosides from glucose and mannose derived glycosyl halides at room temperature unlike traditional cryogenic conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
