Fig. 3: Acceptor scope of catalytic strain-release glycosylation with glucosyl CCBz donor.

Acceptors ranged from aliphatic alcohols, sugar alcohols with primary, secondary and tertiary hydroxyl groups, benzoic acid derivative, phenol, sulfonamide and thiols are compatible coupling partners in strain-release glycosylation. Unless otherwise stated, reported yields are for isolated and purified products. For alcoholic nucleophiles, 1.2 equiv of donor and 1.0 equiv of acceptor were used for glycosylation reaction; for acid and heteroatom nucleophiles, 1.0 equiv of donor and 1.5 equiv of acceptor were used for the glycosylation reaction. CCBz, ortho−2,2-dimethoxycarbonylcyclopropylbenzoyl; rt, room temperature; Nu, nucleophile; Bz, benzoyl; Bn, benzyl; Ph, pheny; Me, methyl.
