Vinylation-Electrophilic Cyclization of Aldopentoses: Easy and Stereoselective Access to C-Glycopyranosides of Rare Sugars

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00253a005

A new C-glycosylation procedure, which involves vinylation of a properly protected aldopentose and mercuriocyclization of the obtained glycoenitol, is described; it allows C-glycopyranosides of rare sugars to be obtained from easily available pentoses. 2,
