(Table 5, entries 3 and 4). However, this method was not
applicable to mannosyl trichloroimidate 25 (Table 5, entries 5
and 6). This switch in α/β-stereoselectivity was not observed in
photoinduced glycosylations using 2-naphtol and 5,8-dicyano-
Finally, the reusability of organo photoacid 4 was investigated
(Table 6). Glycosylation resulted in the recovery of ∼90% 4 via
Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology

SiO2 column chromatography, which could be reused without
any loss of efficiency. Further, neither neutralization of the
reaction mixture nor extraction of the product was required after
completion of the reaction because discontinuation of UV light
irradiation rendered the reaction mixture almost neutral. Workup
for the reaction involved only evaporation of the solvents (Et2O
and MeCN), which also could be reused.
In conclusion, a novel glycosylation reaction method has been
developed using thiourea 4 as an organo photoacid under
photoirradiation. This reaction allows for α/β-stereoselectivity
by adjusting the substrate concentration. This useful method
should find a wide range of applications involving syntheses of
carbohydrate-containing products and the development of
organocatalysts for asymmetric organic reactions.
