Abstract:

We report a novel β-directing effect of imidazolium based ionic liquid, which was observed when we conducted the glycosylation of a 6-O-acetyl-2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-mannose trichloroacetimidate donor with a modified ionic liquid support acceptor. The mechanism was investigated and a hypothesis was proposed. After optimization of the reaction conditions, an innovative method for the selective construction of 1,2-cis-β-D-mannopyranosyl linkage was developed.
