A series of 3-thioglycosylated 5,6-diacetoxyindole derivatives, which are important tools for eumelanin research and application, were prepared through a practical and efficient approach exploiting a dynamic mixture of thioglycoside agents. The strategy is feasible for installing both mono- and disaccharide units and relies on the facile in situ conversion of glycosyl disulfides into the corresponding, more reactive, phenylselenenyl sulfides in the presence of diphenyl diselenide, N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) and tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB). An expedient thioglycosidation of 5,6-diacetoxyindole with a dynamic mixture of thioglycosides is described. Copyright
