Scope of nucleophiles for 2,6-dideoxyglucosylation. Reactions were performed on a 0.10 mmol scale. Crude yields (in parenthesis) were determined using 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene as an internal standard. Selectivities were determined by 1 H NMR analysis of crude product mixtures. The difference between crude and isolated yield was caused by difficulties with chromatographical separation of methyl glucosides formed during deprotection of the crude glycosylation mixtures. a 128 h reaction time. b Regioselectivity was defined as the measured signal-to-noise ratio of the anomeric signal peak in the crude spectrum as only one regioisomer was detected by 1 H-NMR spectroscopy of the crude reaction mixture. c With Al2O3 (Brockmann Activity I, basic). d Crude yield was likely underestimated due to low solubility of product in NMR solvent. e 1.0 equiv. electrophile.
