A mild and convenient method for the synthesis of α-glycosyl chlorides in high 80–96 % yields within 15–30 min using 2-chloro-1,3-dimethylimidazolinium chloride (DMC) is disclosed. The method has a wide substrate scope and is compatible with labile OH protecting groups, including benzyl, acetyl, ben...
