Efficient one-pot per-O-acetylation–thioglycosidation of native sugars, 4,6-O-arylidenation and one-pot 4,6-O-benzylidenation–acetylation of S-/O-glycosides catalyzed by Mg(OTf)2

Abstract

Sequential one-pot per-O-acetylation–S-/O-glycosidation under neat condition, regioselective 4,6-O-arylidenation and sequential one-pot benzylidenation–acetylation of Mg(OTf)₂as non-hygroscopic, recyclable catalyst are reported.
