C-2 Methylene glycosides were synthesized from C-2 propargyloxymethyl glycals in a stereoselective manner using a catalytic quantity of AuCl3. The Au-catalyzed reaction was explored using various aglycones. The current protocol enables the preparation of C-2 methylene glycosides, tolerates diverse functional groups and is fast, catalytic and mild. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Stable methyl glycosides are identified as glycosyl donors in the presence of AuBr(3) in acetonitrile; a panel of aglycones comprising aliphatic, alicyclic, steroidal and sugar alcohols are examined successfully for the glycosylation reaction and methyl glycosides of di- and tri-saccharides are converted to corresponding tri- and tetra-saccharides exploiting salient features of our novel activation protocol.

An orthogonal activation strategy with propargyl and n-pentenyl glycosides has been identified. According to this methodology, n-pentenyl glycosides can be selectively activated with NIS/TMSOTf in the presence of either armed or disarmed propargyl O-glycosides. In addition, we report herein that propargyl 1,2-orthoesters can be selectively activated with AuBr(3) in CH(2)Cl(2) at room temperature in the presence of n-pentenyl glycosides. Similarly, pentenyl 1,2-orthoesters can be selectively activated with NIS/Yb(OTf)(3) in the presence of propargyl glycosides.

Transfuranosylations are not well studied though many similar studies exist for transpyranosylation; herein, we report that propargyl/methyl D-ribf- and D-lyxf- give only 1,2-trans glycosides whereas D-araf- and D-xylf- result in a mixture of 1,2-trans and 1,2-cis glycosides; observed facts are rationalised by computational studies.
