Radical halogenation-mediated latent–active glycosylations of allyl glycosides

Abstract

Radical halogenation-mediated glycosylation using allyl glycosides as donors and as acceptors emerges to be an efficient and hither-to unknown glycosylation method, adhering to the concept of the latent–active methodology. Several di- and trisaccharides that possess the allyl moiety at their reducing end are prepared through this new glycosylation methodology.
