Palladium catalyzed stereocontrolled synthesis of C-aryl glycosides using glycals and arenediazonium salts at room temperature

A stereocontrolled synthesis of aryl-C-glycosides was achieved using glycals and aryldiazonium salts in the presence of palladium acetate. A wide range of glycals including d-glucal, d-galactal, l-rhamnal, d-xylal and d-ribal underwent C-arylation at the anomeric carbon in the presence of different aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborates and gave synthetically useful 2,3-deoxy-3-keto-α-aryl-C-glycosides in good to excellent yields. Broad substrate scope, simple operation and room temperature reactions make this protocol very attractive in organic synthesis.

Long-chain Phenols. Part 16. A Novel Synthesis of Homologous Orsellinic Acids and their Methyl Ethers

By the novel reaction of 3,5-dimethoxyfluorobenzene with n-alkyl-lithium compounds, followed by carbonation, homologous orsellinic acid dimethyl ethers (6-alkyl-2,4-dimethoxybenzoic acids) have been obtained.The reactions proceeded best with the homologues of methyl-lithium.These reactions are considered to occur by way of 3,5-dimethoxybenzyne. 2,4-Dimethoxyfluorobenzene did not form an aryne but gave 3-fluoro-2,6-dimethoxybenzoic acid instead.Decomposition with water of alkyl-lithium reaction mixtures from 3,5-dimethoxyfluorobenzene yielded 5-n-alkylresorcinol dimethyl ethers.Demethylaton of 6-alkyl-2,4-dimethoxybenzoic acids with boron trichloride proceeded partially and selectively to give the 6-alkyl-2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzoic acids, and completely with aluminium chloride to give the homologous orsellinic acids.Boron tribromide was less effective, but readily gave the 5-alkyl resorcinols from the corresponding dimethyl ethers.
