A Visible‐Light‐Driven <i>O</i> ‐Glycosylation with Selenoglycosides Mediated by Chalcogen Bonding to Umemoto's Reagent
Abstract The activation of chalcogenoglycosides for O ‐glycosylation typically involves strong electrophiles requiring low temperature. Herein, we demonstrate that visible‐light irradiation of selenoglycosides in the presence of Umemoto's reagent results in often high‐yielding O ‐glycosylation. We provide evidence that this process is mediated by a novel mode of reactivity, specifically photoinduced electron transfer within a chalcogen‐bonded complex.
