Superarmed glycosyl donors have higher reactivity compared to their per-benzylated armed counterparts. Generally, 2-O-benzoyl-3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl protecting group pattern gives rise to increased reactivity rationalized by the O-2/O-5 cooperative effect. Despite having high reactivity profile and applicability in many expeditious strategies for oligosaccharide synthesis, regioselective introduction of the superarming protecting group pattern is tedious for most sugar series. Reported herein is a streamlined synthetic route to yield superarmed glycosyl donors the D-gluco and D-galacto series equipped with ethylthio, phenylthio, tolylthio, S-benzoxazolyl, O-allyl, and O-pentenyl anomeric leaving groups. This streamlined approach was made possible due to the refinement of the oxidative thioglycosylation reaction of the respective glucal and galactal precursors. The applicability of this approach to the direct formation of disaccharides has also been showcased.
