Abstract

The Cover Feature shows that pre-activation-based glycosylation separates donor activation and acceptor glycosylation into two distinct steps. As a result, unique stereochemical control can be achieved by judicious choices of protective groups, anomeric groups, additives, and solvents. Some highly challenging glycosyl linkages including β-mannosides and deoxy glycosides can now be prepared with high stereoselectivities. More information can be found in the Microreview by X.
