We have recently developed a new glycosylation protocol with glycosyl ortho-alkynylbenzoates as donors and a gold (I) complex (eg,[Ph3PAuOTf], OTf= O3SCF3) as catalyst.[1] The power and versatility of this gold (I)-catalyzed glycosylation method have been demonstrated in the effective construction of a wide variety of glycosidic linkages and the total synthesis of complex oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates.[1–6] Moreover, the unprecedented activation mechanism has endowed this protocol with unique merits, including 1) the absence of competitive nucleophilic species (which usually occur in the leaving entity or promoter in classical glycosylation reactions), which enables glycosylation-initiated polymerization of tetrahydrofuran to proceed smoothly;[3] 2) the lack of deteriorative electrophilic species (such as the soft Lewis acidic species used as promoters in classical glycosylation reactions), which enables flavonol 3-OH derivatives vulnerable toward electrophiles to be glycosylated efficiently;[4] and 3) the mild and nearly neutral conditions, which allow the extremely acid-labile aglycones, such as the N-Boc-protected purine derivatives (Boc= tert-butoxycarbonyl) and dammarane derivatives, to be glycosylated effectively.[5, 6]This glycosylation protocol has been developed on the basis of mechanistic rational as depicted in Scheme1.[1b] Activation of the CÀC triple bond positioned in the oalkynylbenzoate moiety in donor A with a gold (I) complex (eg,[Ph3PAuOTf]) led to isochromen-4-yl-gold (I) complex D and sugar oxocarbenium ion B. Capture of the putative sugar oxocarbenium species B or related intermediates [7] by the nucleophilic acceptor HNu provided glycoside C. The H+ released from HNu then protodeaurated the vinyl gold (I) complex D to give isocoumarin E with regeneration of the active AuI species to complete the catalytic cycle. Activation of a CÀC triple bond with gold (I) species toward nucleophilic attack has been reported for numerous gold (I)-catalyzed transformations.[8] Recently, a few of the proposed vinyl
