Stereoselectivity investigation on glycosylation of oxazolidinone protected 2-amino-2-deoxy-d-glucose donors based on pre-activation protocol

Diverse 2,3-oxazolidinone protected 2-amino-2-deoxy-d-glucose thioglycosides were prepared and studied as glycosyl donors at low temperature by BSM/Tf₂O pre-activation protocol before the addition of glycosyl acceptors. The stereochemistry outcomes of a series of glycosylations were investigated. Different stereoselectivities of the coupling reactions were obtained, arising from the different protecting groups in the oxazolidinone donors. 4,6-Di-O-benzyl-N-benzyl-oxazolidinone protected thioglycoside donor 1c underwent glycosylation with general β-anomeric selectivity and the stereoselectivity could be also affected by glycosylation conditions.
