The use of glycosyl iodides as an effective method for the preparation of glycosides has had a recent resurgence in carbohydrate chemistry, despite its early roots in which these species were believed to be of limited use. Renewed interest in these species as glycosylating agents has been spurred by their demonstrated utility in the stereoselective preparation of O-glycosides, and other glycosylic compounds. This review provides a brief historical account followed by an examination of the use of glycosyl iodides in the synthesis of oligosaccharicles and other glycomimetics, including C-glycosylic compounds, glycosyl azides and N-glycosides.

The Bu3SnH - AIBN induced radical additions of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-D-glucopyranosyl derivatives, bearing α-Br (1), α-I (5) β-OCSSMe (7), and β-SePh (8) groups on the anomeric carbon, with olefins such as dimethyl maleate, methyl vinyl ketone, dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, butyl vinyl ether, and -ethylmaleimide were examined for a synthesis of -glycosyl compounds.
