    Described herein is the first example of glycosidation of thioglycosides in the presence of palladium( ii ) bromide. While the activation with PdBr 2 alone was proven feasible, higher yields and cleaner reactions were achieved when these glycosylations were performed in the presence of propargyl bromide as an additive. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that propargyl bromide assists the reaction by creating an ionizing complex, which accelerates the leaving group departure. A variety of thioglycoside donors in reactions with different glycosyl acceptors were investigated to determine the initial scope of this new reaction. Selective and chemoselective activation of thioglycosides over other leaving groups has also been explored.

    An efficient synthesis of thioglycosides from per-acetates in the presence of triflic acid is described. The developed protocol features high reaction rates and product yields. Some reactive sugar series give high efficiency in the presence of sub-stoichiometric trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TfOH) in contrast to other known protocols that require multiple equivalents of Lewis acids to reach high conversion rates.

    Abstract Thioglycosides are among the most common glycosyl donors that find broad application in the synthesis of glycans and glycoconjugates. However, the requirement for toxic and/or large access of activators needed for common glycosylations with thioglycosides remains a notable drawback. Due to the increased awareness of the chemical waste impact on the environment, synthetic studies have been driven by the goal of finding non‐toxic reagents. The main focus of this review is to highlight recent methods for thioglycoside activation that rely on transition metal catalysis.
