Hashimoto found that low-temperature activation of mannosyl chlorides with silver triflate in the presence of alcohols leads to varying ratios of a- and P-linked mannosides [45, 126, 127]. A study of the factors controlling stereoselectivity in silver triflate-mediated mannosylation has been published [128]. Activation of O-benzyl-protected mannosyl fluorides by a combination of Sn(OTf)2 and La(C104)3 has been reported by Shibasaki to afford mixtures of a- and P-mannosides [129]. The large proportions of a-mannosides formed in the homogeneous reactions outlined in this section indicate the involvement of oxocarbonium-ions enabling the anomeric effect to dictate the steric outcome. Because the stereoselectivity of these approaches is crucially dependent on the reacting partners and conditions their scope remains limited.
