Green and aqueous-based dehydrative glycosylation of thiofuranosides in micellar media was developed. The dehydrative glycosylation of 1-hydroxy furanosides and pyranosides with aliphatic, aromatic, and heterocyclic thiols catalyzed by dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBSA) was accomplished. Microwave irradiation led to improved yields and shorter reaction times. Noteworthy, the open-chain dithioacetal which is a common by-product from the dehydrative glycosylation was not detected. Moreover, the methodology was simple and convenient to set up without the requirement for anhydrous conditions.
