An efficient one-pot procedure is described for the conversion of a variety of hydroxyglycal esters to their 2-oxoglycosyl bromides which simply comprises of brief treatment with N-bromosuccinimide/methanol at ambient temperature. Exhibiting comparably low anomeric reactivity in glycosidation reactions, these ulosyl bromides, as well as their 2-benzoyloxyimino analogs, can readily be transformed into a range of more reactive glycosyl donors with iodine, pentenyloxy, ethylthio and dithiocarbamoyl residues at the anomeric centre, such that any ß-selective glycosidation may be successfullv achieved.
