Abstract

An SN2 mechanism was proposed for highly stereoselective glycosylation of benzoic acid with unprotected α-d-glucose under Mitsunobu conditions in dioxane, while an SN1 mechanism was indicated for nonstereoselective glycosylation in DMF. The SN2-type stereoselective Mitsunobu glycosylation is generally applicable to various unprotected pyranoses as glycosyl donors in combination with a wide range of acidic glycosyl acceptors such as carboxylic acids, phenols, and imides, retaining its high stereoselectivity (33 examples). Glycosylation of a carboxylic acid with unprotected α-d-mannose proceeded also in an SN2 manner to directly afford a usually less accessible 1,2-cis-mannoside. One- or two-step total syntheses of five simple natural glycosides were performed using the glycosylation strategy presented here using unprotected α-d-glucose.
