Mild Reductive Opening of Aryl Pyranosides Promoted by Scandium(III) Triflate

摘要

Scandium(III) complexes have increasingly found use as promoters in a variety of organic transformations.1 While the majority of available methods draw upon the ability of scandium to activate C=X pi-bonds toward nucleophilic additions,more recent studies have shown that scandium complexes may also activate C-X sigma-bonds.Though still underdeveloped,this mode of activation holds considerable potential in chemical synthesis.
