A series of novel glycosyl allenoates were prepared by condensions of hemiacetals with 3,3-dimethyl-4,5-allenoic acid. Their glycosylations with various alcohols under the promotion of bromodimethylsulfonium bromide/silver triflate smoothly proceeded to produce disaccharides. Studies reveal that allenic group is crucial for the efficient glylcosylation of glycosyl allenoate.
Keywords: Bromodimethylsulfonium bromide; Glycosyl allenoate; Glycosylation; Silver triflate.
