Versatile intermediate for complete α/β stereocontrol in O-glycosidation reactions

Abstract

β-O-Glucosides 5, which can be completely converted to the α-anomers in the reaction medium, are obtained as single isomers by glycosidation of readily available donor 1 and are easily transformed into 2-deoxy-β-O-glucosides.
