We herein introduce glycosyl -phenylethynyl pyrrole-2-carboxylates (PEPCs) as novel and highly efficient glycosyl donors. The unique inclusion of the pyrrole group, serving as both an electron-donating group and an -tethering scaffold, imparts exceptional shelf stability while retaining reactivity for glycosylation reactions. PEPC donors exhibit broad utility for both - and -glycosylation across a variety of substrates. Additionally, their versatility and efficiency were further demonstrated in a one-pot saccharide synthesis, showcasing their potential for diverse synthetic applications.

Stereoselective synthesis of α,α'-substituted medium-sized cyclic ethers has been achieved by means of nucleophilic substitution of the corresponding lactone-derived thioacetals and their sulfone counterparts. Nucleophilic substitution of medium-sized lactone-derived thioacetals could be achieved efficiently either by (i) activation with NIS/TMSOTf in the presence of allyltrimethylsilane or TMSCN or by (ii) oxidation to the corresponding sulfones followed by treatment with an appropriate organometallic species such as divinylzinc or dimethyl(2-phenylethynyl)aluminum. Interestingly, the stereochemical consequence was found to be largely dependent on the local structure of substrates.
