Stereoselective Synthesis of 2-<i>C</i>-Branched (Acetylmethyl) Oligosaccharides and Glycoconjugates: Lewis Acid-Catalyzed Glycosylation from 1,2-Cyclopropaneacetylated Sugars
selectivity under both conditions. The stereoselectivities of glycosylation depend on the reactivity of donor sugars and Lewis acid catalyst, which effectively dictated the glycosylation pathways. The evidence suggests that galactosyl donors (e.g., 7) can undergo SN1 pathway with a strong Lewis acid (TMSOTf) and SN2 pathway under BF3·Et2O, whereas the glucosyl donors (e.g., 8 and 10) followed SN2 pathway.
