Abstract

A convenient methodology has been developed for the mild hydrolysis of thioglycosides to the corresponding hemiacetals using N-iodosaccharin without any requirement of co-activator. Most of the functional groups used for the protecting group ­manipulation of carbohydrates remain unaffected under the reaction conditions.

Typical Experimental Procedure: To a solution of thioglycoside (1.0 mmol) in MeCN-H2O (10:1; 5 mL) was added N-iodosaccharin (1.5 mmol) at r.t. and the reaction mixture was allowed to stir for the time mentioned in Table [1] . After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude mass was purified over SiO2 using hexane-EtOAc as eluent to furnish the pure glycosyl hemiacetal as an anomeric mixture. Products of all known compounds gave acceptable 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra that matched the data reported in the cited references. [28]
