Although aminosugars are important components in a variety of bioactive molecules, their stereoselective formation is made challenging by the Lewis basic nature of amino substituents. Additionally, the use of -acyl protecting groups is often problematic due to the competing formation of oxazolines during the glycosylation of 2-aminosugar derivatives. Herein, we report a boron-catalyzed strategy utilizing silyl ether glycosyl acceptors and 2-aminosugar donors that employs the 2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl (Troc) protecting group for the C2 amino functionality in glycosyl fluorides. This modification allows for operationally simple room-temperature glycosylations and features a rapid reaction profile that addresses some of the limitations in the synthesis of 2-amino-2-deoxy sugar-containing glycosides. Tailoring the order of reactivity of the silyl acceptors enables one-pot iterative glycosylations, thus streamlining the synthesis of complex oligosaccharides while allowing fewer intermediates and purification steps.

This publication reports a facile and convenient preparation of tri--acetyl-glucopyranoses, derived from the corresponding 2-deoxyaminosugar, where the vicinal anomeric and C2 positions are decorated by azido and (thio)ureido groups, respectively. This double functionalization leads to an inherently chiral core incorporating the versatile azido and (thio)ureido linkages prone to further manipulation. The latter also provides a structural element for hydrogen-bonded donor-acceptor (HB-DA) sites, which are of immense value in organocatalytic pursuits.

This paper explores and revisits in detail the formation and characterization of sugar-based aminonitriles, whose ultimate origin can be traced to the interaction of biomolecules with cyanide. Although the synthesis and spectroscopic data of 2-amino-aldononitriles were reported long ago, there are both contradictory and confusing results among the published data. We have now addressed this concern through an exhaustive structural elucidation of acylated 2-amino- and 2-alkyl(aryl)amino-2-deoxyaldonitriles using mass spectrometry and FT-IR, FT-Raman, and NMR spectroscopies.

Cesium carbonate-mediated stereoselective anomeric -alkylation of a 2,3-oxazolidinone-protected d-mannosamine with sugar-derived primary or secondary alkyl triflates afforded the corresponding 2-amino-2-deoxy-β-d-mannosides in moderate to good yields and excellent stereoselectivity. The oxazolidinone ring can be opened with aqueous alkali hydroxide to liberate the amine functionality. This method has been successfully applied to the synthesis of the trisaccharide repeating unit of 19F polysaccharide.

Herein, we describe a novel methodology for the regio- and stereoselective convergent synthesis of 2-amino-2-deoxy-dithioglycosides via one-pot relay glycosylation of 3--acetyl-2-nitroglucal donors. This unique organo-catalysis relay glycosylation features excellent site- and stereoselectivity, good to excellent yields, mild reaction conditions, and broad substrate scope. 2-Amino-2-deoxy-glucosides/mannosides bearing 1,3-dithio-linkages were efficiently obtained from 3--acetyl-2-nitroglucal donors in both stepwise and one-pot glycosylation protocols.
