title: A mild and convenient indium(III) chloride-catalyzed synthesis of thioglycosides.
abstract: The efficiency of glycosidation reactions generally involves a high chemical yield, as well as high/complete stereo- and regioselectivity. All these depend on the compatibility of the reactivity of glycosyl donors and acceptors. Among glycosyl donors, thioglycosides are widely used because of their high degree of stability in many organic reactions. Although there are number of methods available for the preparation of thioglycosides, all of them have one or more disadvantages, especially concerning the time factor and cumbersome workup procedures. Here we report a convenient and high-yielding method for the preparation of thioglycosides.
