Sugar nucleotides made easy : The new reagent “ImIm”, which is formed in situ in water, is shown to activate nucleoside 5′‐phosphates to their imidazolides, these can subsequently couple with sugar‐1‐phosphates; the whole procedure takes place in water. This truly simple method yields a crude product mixture that can be used directly as a source of donors for glycosyltransferase‐mediated oligsaccharide synthesis. In the scheme, B stands for the nucleobases U, A, or G.
