An Improved Approach to the Direct Construction of 2-Deoxy-β-Linked Sugars: Applications to Oligosaccharide Synthesis.

ABSTRACT: A next-generation reagent-controlled approach for the synthesis of 2,6-dideoxy and 2,3,6-trideoxy sugar donors in good yield and high β-selectivity is reported. The use of p-toluenesulfonyl chloride and potassium hexamethyldisilazide (KHMDS) greatly simplifies deoxy-sugar glycoside construction, and can be used for gram-scale glycosylation reactions. The development of this approach and its application to the construction of β-linked deoxy-sugar oligosaccharides are described.
