Abstract

To explain the catalyst dependent site-selective acylation of carbohydrates substrates, we utilized density functional theory (DFT) calculations to model the corresponding transition states. In doing so it was discovered that the selectivity of the reactions depends on presence or absence of a cation–n interaction between the cation in the acylated catalyst and an appropriate oxygen lone pair in the substrate. Overall these studies allowed for the construction of a predictive model for site-selectivity which is validated by various substrates.
