Iodine efficiently catalyzes the glycosidation of glycals with allyltrimethylsilane, trimethylsilyl cyanide and trimethylsilyl azide in dichloromethane at ambient temperature to afford the corresponding 2,3-unsaturated allyl glycosides, glycosyl cyanides and glycosyl azides in excellent yields with high α-selectivity.
