Abstract

An environmentally benign odorless methodology for the preparation of 1,2-trans-thio- and selenoglycosides is reported. In a one-pot condition, the reductive cleavage of disulfides and di­selenides using triethylsilane and borontrifluoride diethyletherate combination followed by the reaction of the in situ generated ­thiolate and selenoetes with glycosyl acetate derivatives in recyclable room-temperature ionic liquid, [BMIM]˙BF4 resulted in excellent yields of thio- and selenoglycosides avoiding the use of obnoxious thiols/selenols and metallic catalysts.

Key words

thioglycoside - selenoglycoside - disulfide - diselenide - triethylsilane - ionic liquid
