Iodonium-Promoted Glycosylations with Phenyl Selenoglycosides

Abstract
Fully benzylated or benzoylated phenyl selenoglycosides can be activated by the promoters iodonium di-sym-collidine perchlorate (IDCP) or N-iodosuccinimide and catalytic triflic acid (NIS/TfOH). The potential of the iodonium ion-mediated glycosylations with phenyl selenoglycosides is illustrated in the chemoselective synthesis of 1,2-cis-and 1,2-trans linked disaccharides.
