The stereodirecting effect of the glycosyl C-5 substituent has been investigated in a series of D-pyranosyl thioglycoside donors and related to their preferred positions in the intermediate H-3(4) and H-4(3) half-chair oxacarbenium ions. Computational studies showed that an axially positioned C-5 carboxylate ester can stabilize the (3)H4 half-chair oxacarbenium ion conformer by donating electron densit from its carbonyl function into the electron-poor oxacarbenium ion functionality. A similar stabilization can be achieved by a C-5 benzyloxyrnethyl group, but,the magnitude of this stabilization is significantly smaller than for the C-5 carboxylate ester. As a result, the preference of the C-5 benzyloxymethyl to occupy an axial position in the half-chair oxacarbenium ions is much reduced compared to the C-5 carboxylate ester. To minimize steric interactions, a C-5 methyl group prefers to adopt an equatorial position and therefore favors the H-4(3) half-chair oxacarbenium ion. When all pyranosyl substituents occupy their favored position in one of the two intermediate half-chair oxacarbenium ions, highly stereoselective glycosylations can be achieved as revealed by the excellent beta-selectivity of mannuronate esters and alpha-selectivity of 6-deoxygulosides.
