Chemical syntheses of oligosaccharides and glycosides call utilization of many protecting groups that can be installed or deprotected without affecting other functional groups present. Benzyl ethers are routinely used in the synthesis of glycans as they can be subjected to hydrogenolysis under neutral conditions. However, installation of benzyl ethers is often carried out under strong basic conditions using benzyl halides. Many a times, strongly basic conditions will be detrimental for some of the other sensitive functionalities (e.g., esters). Later introduced reagents such as benzyl trichloroacetimidate and BnOTf are not shelf-stable, and hence, a new method is highly desirable. Taking a cue from the [Au]/[Ag]-catalyzed glycosidations, we have identified a method that enables protection of hydroxyl groups as benzyl, p-methoxybenzyl, or naphthylenemethyl ethers using easily accessible and stable carbonate reagent. A number of saccharide-derived alcohols were subjected to the benzylation successfully using a catalytic amount of gold phosphite and silver triflate. Furthermore, the protocol is suitable for even protecting menthol, cholesterol, serine, disaccharide OH, and furanosyl-derived alcohol easily. The often-utilized olefins and benzoates, as well as benzylidene-, silyl-, Troc-, and Fmoc-protecting groups do not get affected during the newly identified protocol. Regioselective protection and one-pot installation of benzyl and p-methoxybenzyl ethers are demonstrated.

The amidine bases DBU (1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene) and DBN (1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene) display nucleophilic behaviour towards highly electrophilic p-nitrophenyl carbonate derivatives with ring opening of the bicyclic ring to form correspond
