Diastereoselective desymmetric 1,2-cis-glycosylation of meso-diols via chirality transfer from a glycosyl donor
Enzyme-catalyzed desymmetric glycosylations are often found in nature, however the corresponding chemical methods are lacking. Here, the authors report a highly diastereoselective desymmetric 1,2-cis-glycosylation of meso-diols found in myo-inositol 1,3,5-orthoesters using a boronic acid catalyst.
