Suzuki cross-coupling of carbohydrates: Synthesis of β-arylmethyl-C-glycosides and aryl-scaffolded trisaccharide mimics

Article abstract of DOI:10.1055/s-0030-1260180

β-1-C-Arylmethylglycoside derivatives of D-glucose and D-mannose have been synthesized using a mild hydroboration/Suzuki cross-coupling sequence. The scope and limitations of this methodology as well as its extension to the construction of aryl scaffolded trisaccharide mimics is described.
