O‐Glycoside Syntheses under Neutral Conditions in Concentrated Solutions of LiClO4 in Organic Solvents

Abstract
Under mild, neutral conditions syntheses of O‐glycosides are possible when the glycosyl donor is treated with a glycosyl acceptor in 1 M solutions of LiClO4 in organic solvents. The vital difference between this and the usual processes is that no promoters like heavy metal salts, alkylating agents, and strong Lewis acids are needed.
