Iminosugar thioglycosides as glycosyl donors: a route to disaccharides with an iminosugar moiety

The iminosugar thioglycosides are used as glycosyl donors in glycosidation reactions. Thereby, iminosugar glycosides and disaccharide analogues with an iminosugar moiety are prepared. The yields are high and the method is stereoselective.
