Abstract
Although glycosylamines constitute an important group of carbohydrates from the standpoint of biology and medicine, methods for their synthesis typically lack substrate generality and/or result in variable stereoselectivity, especially in complex contexts. In this communication, we report an operationally simple method for the synthesis of both α- and β-glycosylamines using the Burgess reagent that overcomes many of these limitations in a bare minimum of synthetic steps.
