Similarly, α-21 obtained from α-9k led to the trisaccharides β-
D-Glc-(1→2)-α-D-Glc-(1→6)-α-D-Glc-OMe (24) (conditions
A: α/β = 8/92, 59% isolated yield of the β-isomer) and α-D-
Glc-(1→2)-α-D-Glc-(1→6)-α-D-Glc-OMe (25) (conditions B:
α/β = 90/10, 47% isolated yield of the α-isomer), respectively.
All four isomers of D-Glc-(1→2)-D-Glc-(1→6)-α-D-Glc-OMe

(

deprotections of the protected trisaccharides (Scheme 5).
These results indicate that the TAB group behaves
differently in ethereal and nonethereal solvents, serving as an
NGP active substituent in DCM, toluene, and EtCN.
Reactions using perbenzylated donor 1b provided correspond-
ing glycoside 26 with diminished stereoselectivity (α/β = 11/
8
9 compared to β-only for 6b), while the stereoselectivity was
similar between 1b and 6b (α/β = 83/17 and 84/16) under
conditions B (Scheme 6).
To explain the stereodirecting effects of the TAB group, we
postulate the contribution of a hydrogen bonding between
tosylamide and the benzylic oxygen, as NH signals of donor

as a 1,2-trans directing group. Subsequent formation of the
oxocarbenium ion would initiate NGP by the sulfonamide
oxygen (i.e., formation of II) to give β-glycosides. On the other
hand, the intramolecular hydrogen is likely to be disrupted in
ether, leading the TAB group into NGP inactive form III. This
view was reinforced by control experiments conducted in the
absence of alcohol. When the donor was activated under
conditions A, β-trichloroacetamide 27 was obtained. On the
other hand, conditions B afforded seven-membered cyclic N-
glucoside 28 as a mixture of anomers (α/β = 87/13),
suggesting that the tosylamide group is relieved of the internal
oxygen and able to attack the anomeric position intra-
molecularly (Scheme 7).

In summary, we have developed a glycosyl donor having o-
TsNHbenzyl ether as a stereodirecting element, which allows
for α- or β-stereoselective glycoylation by switching conditions.
