Abstract

Since the introduction of the silyl variation of the Hilbert-Johnson reaction 1 by Iwai and Nishimura in 1964, 2 many types of glycosyl donors have been applied in the synthesis of a large variety of the nucleosides. Among them, 1-O-acetyl sugars, in the presence of a strong Lewis acid, are the most frequently used glycosyl donors. 3 However, in all these methods, either stoichiometric amount of the promoter or high temperature is required to secure high-yielding of the N- ...
