Abstract

2- O -Picolinyl protected glycosyl donors lead to the formation of 1,2- trans  glycosides with complete stereoselectivity. This is due to the participatory effect of the picolinyl nitrogen that is able to block the bottom face of the ring  via  a six-membered cyclic intermediate. Herein we demonstrate that if the nitrogen atom of the  O -picolinyl moiety is temporarily blocked by coordination to the metal center (Pd), it becomes unavailable to participate in glycosylation and hence the stereoselectivity of 2- O -picolinyl-assisted glycosylations can be “switched”.
