Abstract

We report the efficient O-glycosidation of glycosyl bromides with therapeutically relevant acceptors facilitated by silver N-heterocyclic carbene (Ag–NHC) complexes. A set of four Ag– NHC complexes was synthesized and evaluated as promoters for glycosidation reactions. Two new bis-Ag–NHC complexes derived from ionic liquids 1-benzyl-3-methyl-1H- imidazolium chloride and 1-(2-methoxyethyl)-3-methylimidazolium chloride were found to ...
