Abstract

A derivative of diphenylborinic acid promotes catalytic, regioselective Koenigs-Knorr glycosylations of carbohydrate derivatives bearing multiple secondary hydroxyl groups. Robust levels of selectivity for the equatorial OH group of cis-1,2-diol motifs are demonstrated in reactions of seven acceptors derived from galactose, mannose, fucose, and arabinose using a variety of glycosyl halide donors. Catalyst control presents a new means of generating defined glycosidic linkages from unprotected or minimally protected carbohydrate feedstocks.
