(a) Alternative SN2 and SN1 reaction pathways leading to formation of α- and β-glycosides from glycosyl triflate intermediates. CIP, SSIP, and SEIP stand for contact ion pair, solvent-separated ion pair, and solvent-equilibrated ion pair, respectively. (b) Calculated free energy differences between α- and β-glycosyl triflates for d-Man, d-Glc and d-All in the gas phase. (c) NMR detection of β-glycosyl triflate signals (red) in reaction mixtures from Glc (left) and All (right) donors. Estimated equilibrium constants for the anomerization process are given in green.
