Here, we demonstrate that substitution of the benzyl groups of glucosyl imidate donors with trifluoromethyl results in a substantial increase in 1,2-<i>cis</i>-selectivity when activated with TMS-I in the presence of triphenylphosphine oxide. Stereoselectivity is dependent on the number of trifluoromethyl groups (4-trifluoromethylbenzyl vs 3,5-<i>bis</i>-trifluoromethylbenzyl). Particularly encouraging is that we observe high 1,2-<i>cis</i>-selectivity with reactive alcohol acceptors. ...[more]
