title: Synthesis of aryl-2-deoxy-D-lyxo/arabino-hexopyranosides from 2-deoxy-1-thioglycosides.
abstract: The synthesis of either anomers of aryl 2-deoxy-D-glycopyranosides from 2-deoxy-1-thioglycosides is reported. The alpha-anomers form as the major product when thioglycosides react with differently substituted phenols and naphthols, in the presence of N-iodosuccinimide/triflic acid. On the other hand, reaction of the thioglycosides with bromine initially, followed by reaction with aryloxy anions lead to aryl 2-deoxy-beta-D-glycosides with high specificities.
