m neutral alumina with hexane/ethyl acetate mobile phase.
A dry 4 mL scintillation vial was charged with the trichloroace-
timidate 3 with a slight excess of alcohol and dissolved in enough
dry CH2Cl2 to obtain a 50 mM solution of the trichloroacetimidate.
Less than 0.1 mg In(OTf)3 was added, and reaction was stirred for
25 min. The reaction was quenched with approximately 0.2 g dry
NaHCO3 for 20 min. The solution was then filtered over a med-
ium-sized plug of alumina using CH2Cl2 as the eluent. The solvent
was removed under reduced pressure affording clean product.
An ice bath was used for reactions run at 0 °C. 13C and 1H NMR
were recorded for purified compounds on a Bruker DRX 500 MHz
Spectrometer using TMS as an internal standard. Mass spectra
were obtained using a high-resolution Bruker micro-TOF system
with electrospray ionization. Yields are either isolated yields or
were calculated from crude 1H NMR spectra using an internal
mesitylene standard as specified. Ratios of alpha to beta diastereo-
mers were determined using integrations of resonances in the 1H
NMR spectra or (for equivalent carbons) in the 13C NMR spectra.26
Trichloroacetimidate starting materials27 and acceptor 2028 were
synthesized using previously described methods. Trace additions
of In(OTf)3 were performed by the addition of a visible amount of
In(OTf)3 that weighed less than 0.1 mg.
1.6. General procedure for preparation of disaccharides
A dry 4 mL scintillation vial was charged with the trichloroace-
timidate starting material with a slight excess of 20 and dissolved
in enough dry CH2Cl2 to obtain a 50 mM solution of the trichloroace-
timidate. The mixture was cooled if specified, and the promoter was
added. The reaction then stirred for the specified time, was
quenched with 2 mL of saturated NaHCO3 for 20 min, diluted with
2 mL CH2Cl2, and filtered. The solvent was removed under reduced
pressure. Chromatographic purification was performed (galactopy-
ranoside product 6:4 hexane/EtOAc; acetyl protected mannopyran-
oside product 4:6 hexane/EtOAc). Acetonide protected man
nopyranoside 23 was prepared via procedure 1.5 above. Exact reac-
tion conditions are provided in Table S4 of the Supplementary data.
1.2. General procedure for optimization of reaction conditions
Duplicate reactions were performed in parallel. A dry 4 mL scin-
tillation vial was charged with the trichloroacetimidate starting
material with a slight excess of alcohol and dissolved in enough
dry CH2Cl2 to obtain a 50 mM solution of the trichloroacetimidate.
The mixture was cooled if specified, and the promoter was added.
BF3ÁOEt2 reactions were run under an argon atmosphere. Aliquots
were taken from vial 1 and evaluated by 1H NMR for reaction com-
pletion. When no starting material was observed, vial 2 was
quenched with approximately 0.2 g dry NaHCO3 for 20 min, di-
luted with 2 mL CH2Cl2, and filtered. The solvent was removed un-
der reduced pressure. Yields of vial 2 were obtained from 1H NMR
spectra using an internal mesitylene standard. Reaction conditions
for vial 2 reactions are provided in Table S1.

red for 2 h, then was diluted with 2 mL CH2Cl2, and quenched with
