of disaccharide 5 was not observed under the same reaction
conditions (entry 2). In the case of glycosyl fluorides 14 (
b = 85:15, 1.0 equiv) and 16 ( /b = 62:38, 1.0 equiv), the 4-O-Bn
glycosyl donor 14 was found to be much more reactive than the
corresponding 4-O-Bz glycosyl donor 16 (entries 3 and 4). These
results indicated that the armed–disarmed effect of remote pro-
tecting groups on the glycosylation reaction of 2,3-dideoxyglycosyl
donors was essentially independent of the leaving groups.
Finally, we investigated chemoselective glycosylation using 4,6-
di-O-Bn glycosyl acetate (17) and 4-OH-6-O-Bz glycosyl acetate
(18) in the synthesis of 2,3-dideoxydisaccharide 19. As shown in

In conclusion, we studied the armed–disarmed effect of remote
protecting groups at the C-4 and C-6 positions on the glycosylation
reaction of 2,3-dideoxyglycosyl donors. Competitive glycosylation
reactions clearly showed that 4- or 6-O-Bn glycosyl donors 1 and
6 were far more reactive than the corresponding 4,6-di-O-Bz glyco-
syl donor 2. In addition, this tendency was essentially independent
not only of the activator but also of the leaving group at the ano-
meric position. We further showed that chemoselective glycosyla-
tion using 4,6-di-O-Bn glycosyl acetate 17 and 4-OH-6-O-Bz
glycosyl acetate 18 could effectively provide 2,3-dideoxydisaccha-

clearly indicate that the armed–disarmed effect of remote protect-
ing groups at the C-4 and C-6 positions influences the reactivity of
2,3-dideoxyglycosyl donors, and that this effect is significant in the
chemoselective synthesis of 2,3-dideoxyoligosaccharides. Our
chemoselective glycosylation methodology is expected to be
widely applicable to the efficient synthesis of biologically impor-
tant natural products possessing 2,3-dideoxyglycosides. Further
investigations to widen the applicability of this method are
underway.
