Pivaloyl-protected glucosyl iodide as a glucosyl donor for the preparation of β-C-glucosides

Stereoselective oxidative O-glycosylation of disarmed glycosyl iodides with alcohols using PIDA as the promoter

“…Given our interest in glycosylation chemistry 8 and drawing inspiration from the activation conditions, elegantly demonstrated by Walczak and his co-workers, utilizing mild and broadly compatible iodine( iii ) reagents as the oxidative means, we sought for alternative, environmentally benign glycosyl donors suitable for oxidative activation. Glycosyl iodides, are less exploited in glycosylation chemistry among other glycosyl halides, mainly due to their inherent instability.…”
