A new procedure for the stereospecific synthesis of α- and β-glycosyl isocyanates by oxidation of glycosyl isocyanides has been developed. The reaction of α- and β-glucosyl isocyanates with amines proceeds smoothly to provide α- and β-glucosyl ureas with a net retention of the stereochemistry at the anomeric position. This method offers the synthesis of a building block for the glycopeptide mimics with urea-glycosyl linkages.
