60. 18O resonances was achieved by the application of a resolution enhancement of -0.8 Hz and a Gaussian apodization of 0.5 s. The application of resolution enhancement in FT NMR has been shown to have only a limited effect on the accuracy of integration. See: Kupka, T.; Dziegielewski, J. O. Magn. Reson. Chem. 1988, 26, 353-357.
61. [13C1-18O] (Scheme 11) would also generate pyridinium sulfonate as a byproduct.
62. It should be noted that the advent of turnover in sulfoxide during the reaction precludes complete exclusion of the S(V7)-addition pathway (Scheme 3) from these data alone.

64. 18O-incorporation was determined by using field ionization mass spectrometry.
65. 1H NMR spectra were acquired at a rate of one spectrum every 10s.

67. H1 5.14 ppm, formed slowly over the course of the reaction to the extent of 2%, was determined to be 1,1′-α,α-linked disaccharide 4 (Scheme 1).
68. The minor transient resonance at δ 5.40 may correspond to the anomeric proton of the β-anomer of mannosyl sulfonate 11, although its rigorous structural verification has yet to be achieved.
69. 1H NMR showed no change in the anomeric ratio of 9, indicating that the glycoside product did not equilibrate under the reaction conditions and that the observed 1:1 α:β mixture of glycosidic products in the glycosylation of 2-propanol to mannose hemiacetal 3 was under kinetic control.
