Abstract

O-Glycosylation is a critically important and recurring step in the synthesis of oligosaccharides and other natural and non-natural products. While many approaches to O-glycosylation have been reported, those strategies involving remote activation are distinguished by the mildness and orthogonality that they often engender. As a result, O-glycosylation using remote activation strategies has been utilized successfully in the synthesis of complex molecules that include oligosaccharides and macrolides. Herein, we discuss a number of contributions that have been made to this area since the 1970s. This includes our own recent contribution involving the visible-light activation of 4-p-methoxyphenyl-3-butenylthioglycosides toward O-glycosylation in the presence of Umemoto’s reagent.
