A direct method for the construction of 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-D-glycosidic linkages has been developed. The 3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl- or 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-protected 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-α-D-glucosyl and galactosyl diethyl phosphites each reacted with a range of acceptor alcohols in the presence of a stoichiometric amount of bis(trifluoromethanesulfon)imide in CH2Cl2 at –78 °C to afford 1,2-trans-β-linked disaccharides in good to high yields. It is worthy of note that the alcohols bearing acid-sensitive acetal or epoxy groups were safely glycosylated under these conditions. Mechanistic investigations suggest that this protocol represents the first successful example of the direct glycosidation using 2-acetamido-2-deoxyglycosyl donors that does not proceed via an oxazolinium ion intermediate. A plausible reaction mechanism is proposed.
