Current methods for glycosylation of complex alcohols, e.g. with glycosyl trichloroacetimidates, generally occur in the presence of a strong Lewis acid 'promoter', and at sub-ambient temperatures. However, the older literature reports high-temperature gly

Efficient, stereoselective glycosylation methods are required for the synthesis of complex oligosaccharides as tools in glycobiology. All glycosylation methods, which have found wide acceptance, rely on Lewis acid activation of glycosyl donors prior to glycosylation. Here, we present a new and efficient method for glycosylation under neutral or mildly basic conditions. Glycosides of methyl 2-hydroxy-3,5-dinitrobenzoate (DISAL) and its para regioisomer, methyl 4-hydroxy-3,5-dinitrobenzoate, were prepared by nucleophilic aromatic substitution. In a first demonstration of their potential as glycosyl donors, stereospecific glycosylation of methanol was achieved. In the glycosylation of more hindered alcohols, the β-donor proved more reactive, and α-glucosides were predominantly formed. Glycosylation of protected monosaccharides, with free 6-0H or 3-OH, proceeded smoothly in 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP) at 40-60 °C in the absence of Lewis acids and bases in good to excellent yields. Glycosylation of 3-OH gave the α-linked disaccharide only.
