We have developed a novel protocol for glucosylation by adopting a glucosyl fluoride donor with 2-O-benzoyl-3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl protection. The protocol is useful for the ready assembly of β-linked functional glycoconjugates, and the reaction accommodates a broad range of substrates. Conveniently, water-tolerant and commercially available InI3 is used as a catalyst, and no other additional reagent is required. The method involves an interesting process for glucosyl fluoride activation and, in particular, permits the stereoselective construction of partially benzylated glucopyranosides carrying a selectively removable 2-O-benzoyl group, which hold great potential as glycosyl receptors for building further 1,2-glycosidic linkages.
