N-Dimethylphosphoryl-protected glucosamine trichloroacetimidate as an effective glycosylation donor

Glycosylation of a variety of alcohols with 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-N-dimethylphosphoryl-2-deoxy-α-d-glucopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate as a glycosyl donor provided the corresponding coupled products in high yields and good β-selectivity. N-Dimethylphosphoryl-protection stayed stable under acidic and basic conditions for further elaboration of the glucosamine-containing oligosaccharides.
