The armed–disarmed effect of remote protecting groups at the C-4 and/or C-6 position(s) on the glycosylation reactions of 2,3-dideoxyglycosyl donors was investigated. It was found that under various glycosylation conditions, 4- or 6-O-Bn 2,3-dideoxyglycosyl donors were much more reactive than the corresponding 4,6-di-O-Bz 2,3-dideoxyglycosyl donors. Based on these results, an effective and chemoselective glycosylation reaction using 4,6-di-O-Bn glycosyl acetate and 4-OH-6-O-Bz glycosyl acetate was realized, producing a 2,3-dideoxydisaccharide in good yield with high α-stereoselectivity.
