Provided are methods for the preparation of glycosylation products, including those represented by formula I: n Sugar-O—R′ In comprising the step of combining R′—OH, a glycosyl sulfide glycosyl donor (“thioglycoside donor”), a hypervalent iodine alkyl-transfer activating reagent, and a base. In an embodiment, the hypervalent iodine alkyl-transfer activating reagent is (phenyl(trifluoroethyl)iodonium triflimide). |
