α- and β-thioglycosides serve as effective nucleophiles for Buchwald–Hartwig cross-couplingreactions using functionalized (hetero)arylhalides. The functional group tolerance on the electrophilic partner is typically high, both benzyl and acetate protecting groups on the carbohydrate are tolerated, and anomer selectivities of thioglycosides are high in all cases studied. The efficiency of this general
