Abstract: The introduction of glycosides bearing basic nitrogen is challenging using conventional Lewis acid-promoted pathways owing to competitive coordination of the amine to the Lewis acid promoter. Additionally, because many aminoglycosides lack a C2 substituent, diastereomeric mixtures of O -glycosides are often produced. Herein, we present a method for the synthesis of α- or β- 2,3,6-trideoxy-3-amino- and 2,4,6-trideoxy-4-amino O -glycosides from a common precursor. Our strategy proceeds by the reductive lithiation of thiophenyl glycoside donors and trapping of the resulting anomeric anions with 2-methyltetrahydropyranyl peroxides. We apply this strategy to the synthesis of α- and β-forosamine, pyrrolosamine, acosamine, and ristosamine derivatives using primary and secondary peroxides as electrophiles. α-Linked products are obtained in 60–96% yield and with >50:1 selectivity. β-Linked products are obtained in 45–94% yield and with 1.7–>50:1 stereoselectivity. Contrary to donors bearing an equatorial amine substituent, donors bearing an axial amine substituent favored β-products at low temperatures. This work establishes a general strategy to synthesize O -glycosides bearing a basic nitrogen.
