Abstrakt: Reciprocal donor acceptor selectivity (RDAS) and double diastereodifferentiation are two concepts that have been used to explain how a glycosyl acceptor and donor may be 'matched' or 'mismatched' in glycosylation reactions. We describe here how the α-L-fucosylation and β-D-galactosylation of a trisaccharide displaying two equatorial OH groups at C-3 of N-acylated glucosamine units led to different regioselectivities or different 'matched' pairs. These results may be explained under the reciprocal donor acceptor selectivity or double diastereodifferentiation concepts. We also suggest a third explanation to these results: the presence of a benzylidene at the nonreducing end acceptor led to rigidity at this residue which resulted into a mismatched pair during β-D-galactosylation but allowed α-L-fucosylation.
