The invention belongs to the technical field of
sugar chemistry, and relates to a
glycosylation reaction catalyst, a
glycosylation method and application. The
glycosylation method takes
platinum chloride (IV) as a catalyst and is simple to operate, wide in substrate application range and high in reaction
regioselectivity and
stereoselectivity, and application of the method in glycosylation reaction is disclosed. According to the method, alpha-configuration O-
glycosyl trichloroacetimidate is used as a donor,
platinum (IV)
chloride is used as a catalyst of an acid-base
catalysis way, and a product mainly having a beta-configuration is obtained. In the method, a catalyst and a
glycosyl acceptor are firstly combined to form a catalyst-
acceptor adduct, so that
proton acidity and
oxygen affinity are increased, donor activation is enhanced, and
acceptor transfer is carried out. According to the invention, the ligand binding capacity of
platinum (IV)
chloride and the characteristic that a
diol receptor can be used as a bidentate ligand thereof are fully utilized, so that the method is not only suitable for construction of high-
stereoselectivity glycosidic bonds of monohydroxyl receptors, but also can realize
glycosidic bond construction with high
regioselectivity and
stereoselectivity of receptors of 1,3-
diol, 1,2-cis-
diol, 1,2-trans-diol, and 1,2,3-
triol structures.
