stereoselective preparation of 2-deoxy-2-iodoglycosides. Further-
more, the regioselective iodoacetoxylation of several glycals was
achieved by employing copper(I) iodide as the halide source and
2-deoxy glycosyl acetates 2f–2j (entries 6–11). In contrast, the
reaction of -glucal (1a) and -galactal (1e) with stoichiometric

ing oxidative iodoacetoxylation transformations would find its
applicability in glycochemistry for synthesizing biologically impor-
tant deoxy-sugar derivatives.
The iodoacetoxylation of glycals to access 2-deoxy-2-iodo-gly-
copyranosyl acetate donor is an important transformation in car-
variation in dr. Indeed, the iodoglycosylation of 1e using NIS in

Having identified a mild and facile method for the synthesis of 2-
deoxy-2-iodo-glycosyl acetates, we next considered the possibility
of copper triflate catalyzed glycosylation of 2-iodo-glycosyl acetate
donor. Accordingly, the chemical glycosylation of 2-deoxy-2-iodo-

to 1,2-dichloroethane afforded the desired product 4a in 68% yields
in 20 h (entry 5). However, significant improvement in the rate was
realized when the reaction was performed at 60 °C for 1 h, furnish-
