fluoride as the example (where most comparison was possible) has
been provided in Table 3. It is evident from Table 3 that the current
method proves faster and high yielding among the methods com-
pared. The method using Py.(HF)n not only required longer reaction
time but also suffered from poorer yield.

The ZnF2/2,20-bipyridine-method required heating while the 4-
methyl(difluoroiodo)benzene-method required cooling for the
methods to be effective. Besides, it was also found that the latter
reagent is not available commercially. The only limitation in the
case of the current method noted was that the required stirring
in the dark, which could be achieved easily by wrapping the flask
with aluminum foil.
In conclusion, a facile and effective method for the conversion of
various thioglycosides to their respective glycosyl fluorides using
in situ-generated IF as the fluorinating agent has been developed
with good functional group tolerance and isolated yields. The fluo-

37. Typical experimental procedure: AgF (2 mmol) was added to a solution of the
thioglycoside (1 mmol) in anhydrous CH2Cl2 in the dark followed by addition
of iodine (2 mmol) at rt. After 60 min (when the reaction was found to be
complete), the mixture was diluted with excess CH2Cl2 and was quenched by
the addition of an ice-cold aqueous solution of Na2S2O7 and was filtered
through a Celite bed. The filtrate was washed with ice-cold aqueous solution of
NaHCO3 in a separating funnel and after drying over Na2SO4, was concentrated
under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by column
chromatography (silica gel, 200–430 mesh; eluent, EtOAc-n-hexane, 2:3 to
1:1 depending upon the substrate) to afford the corresponding glycosyl
fluoride in pure form.
rides obtained were exclusively
a-anomers in all the cases when
the reaction was carried out in CH2Cl2. All thioglycosides except
those bearing a nitrogen substituent on the C-2 position of the
pyranosyl ring gave satisfactory yields.
