Glycosylation studies for the construction of 1,2-cis alpha-linkages with O-(2,3,5,6-tetra-O-benzyl-beta-D-galactofuranosyl) trichloroacetimidate (1) and several acceptors, including D-mannosyl and L-rhamnosyl derivatives were performed. The reactions were conducted at low temperatures using CH2Cl2, Et2O, and acetonitrile as solvents. A non-participating solvent such as CH2Cl2 at 78 degrees C, favored the alpha-D-configuration. In contrast, acetonitrile strongly favored the beta-D-configuration, whereas no selectivities were observed with Et2O. The use of thiophene as an additive did not enhance the alpha-D-selectivity as in the pyranose counterpart. Although selectivities strongly depended on the acceptor, trichloroacetimidate 1 constitutes a valuable donor for the synthesis of alpha-D-Galf-(1 -> 2)-L-Rha and alpha-D-Galf-(1 -> 6)-D-Man. As these motifs are present in pathogenic microorganisms, these procedures described here are useful for the straightforward synthesis of natural oligosaccharides. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
