The regio­divergent introduction of sugars at the C3, C5, and C11 positions of macrolactones was achieved by selecting appropriate chiral acids as catalysts or through introduction of stoichio­metric boronic acid-based additives. BINOL-based chiral phosphoric acids (CPAs) were used to catalyze highly selective glycosyl­ations at the C5 positions of macrolactones (up to 99:1 rr), whereas the use of SPINOL-based CPAs resulted in selectivity switch and glycosyl­ation of the C3 alcohol (up to 91:9 rr). Additionally, the C11 position of macrolactones was selectively function­alized through traceless protection of the C3/C5 diol with boronic acids prior to glycosyl­ation. Investigation of the reaction mechanism for the CPA-controlled glycosyl­ations revealed the involvement of covalently linked anomeric phosphates rather than oxo­carbenium ion pairs as the reactive intermediates. 2017-06-16 20:33:59 chiral acids C 11 positions macrolactone Regiodivergent Glycosylations Oleandomycin-Derived Macrolactones Enabled rr SPINOL-based CPAs glycosyl reaction mechanism C 5 positions anomeric phosphates introduction C 3 alcohol boronic acids chiral catalysts traceless protection C 11 position control site-selectivity BINOL-based chiral phosphoric acids reactive intermediates selectivity switch
