Initial studies were performed on partially methylated acceptor and donor moieties as a model system in order to analyze the key principles of oxyanion reactivities. In this work, extended studies on base-promoted glycosylation are presented by using benzyl protective groups in view of preparative applications. Emphases are placed on the influence of the acceptor anomeric configuration and donor reactivities. %K glycosylation %K oxyanion %K reactivity %K regioselectivity %U http://dx.doi.org/10.3762/bjoc.8.46
