Catalytic and Stereoselective Glycosylation with Disarmed Glycosyl Fluoride Having Phthaloyl or Dichlorophthaloyl Protected Amino Function Using a 1 : 2 Combination of Stannic Chloride and Silver Tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate

A catalytic and stereoselective glycosylation of various glycosyl acceptors with disarmed glycosyl fluorides having phthaloyl or dichlorophthaloyl protected amino function is successfully carried out by using a combination of stannic chloride (SnCl4) and silver tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate [AgB(C6F5)4] in the coexistence of MS 5A, and the corresponding 1,2-trans disaccharides are obtained in high yields.
