Comparative side-by-side glycosylation studies demonstrated that glycosyl thiocyanates, thioimidates, and thioglycosides provide comparative stereoselectivities in glycosylations. Very high α-stereoselectivity that was previously recorded for glycosyl thiocyanates can be achieved, but only if glycosyl acceptors are equipped with electron-withdrawing acyl substituents. Partially benzylated glycosyl acceptors provided relatively modest stereoselectivity, which was on a par with other common glycosyl donors. Accordingly, thioimidates and thioglycosides showed high stereoselectivity similarly to that of thiocyanates with different classes of acylated primary and secondary glycosyl acceptors.

Described herein is a continuation of our studies dedicated to the development of novel classes of leaving groups based on - and -imidates. The main focus of the study presented herein is the synthesis of novel 3,3-difluoro-3-indol-2-ylthio (SFox) imidates and their application as glycosyl donors in chemical glycosylation. Being thioimidates, these compounds are more stable than -imidates albeit much more reactive than conventional alkyl/arylthio glycosides.

Reported herein is a new method for the direct synthesis of glycosyl chlorides from thioglycosides using sulfuryl chloride at rt. A variety of thioglycosides and thioimidates could be used as substrates. Both acid- and base-sensitive protecting groups were found compatible with these reaction conditions.

Reported herein is the development of a novel method for the activation of thioglycosides and thioimidates using benzyl trichloroacetimidate in the presence of catalytic triflic acid. Excellent yields have been achieved with reactive substrates, whereas efficiency of reactions with unreactive glycosyl donors and/or acceptors was modest.

While studying indolylthio glycosides, previously we determined their activation profile that required large excess of activators. This drawback was partially addressed in the present study of N-alkylated SInR derivatives. The activation process was studied by NMR and the increased understanding of the mechanism led to a discovery of different activation pathways taking place with SIn versus SInR derivatives.

Discrimination among S-thiazolinyl (STaz), S-benzoxazolyl (SBox), and S-ethyl anomeric leaving groups was achieved by fine-tuning activation conditions. Preferential glycosidation of a certain leaving group is determined neither by the strength of the activating reagent nor by the stability of the leaving group itself; instead, the type of activation plays the key role. The activation conditions established herein were applied to a sequential five-step synthesis of a hexasaccharide using six monosaccharide building blocks equipped with six different leaving groups.
