Abstract

One of the most popular one-pot glycosylation strategies is orthogonal one-pot synthesis, which was mainly based on thioglycosides. Despite its successful application, shortcomings of thioglycosides including aglycon transfers, interference of departing species and unpleasant odor restrict its application scope. Herein, we report a new and efficient orthogonal one-pot synthesis of oligosaccahrides based on glycosyl ortho-alkynylbenzoate, which solves the issues of thioglycoside-based orthogonal one-pot synthesis. Over a dozen of oligosaccharides have been efficiently synthesized by this method.
