Organocatalytic regioselective acylation of mono- and disaccaharides with various functionalized acid anhydrides has been developed. Acylation of octyl β-d-glucopyranoside with acid anhydrides derived from α-amino acids, cinnamic acid, and gallic acid took place at C(4)-OH with 67−94% regioselectivity in the presence of catalyst 1. Regioselective acylation of disaccharides with functionalized acid anhydrides was also achieved with 78−94% selectivity. Especially, a disaccharide with seven free hydroxy groups (X = OH, R′ = H) underwent acylation at C(4)-OH with 78% regioselectivity in the presence of 1. Thus, functional group tolerance in the regioselective acylation catalyzed by 1 was found to be high.
