Stereoselective conversion of sugar derivatives into C-nucleosides

摘要

A two-step process for the transformation of readily available carbohydrate derivatives into acyclic C-nucleosides is described. The carbohydrate undergoes a scission process that is followed by the addition of aryl ketone derivatives, allowing the introduction of a variety of aryl rings. The resulting acyclic C-nucleosides are transformed into 2-deoxy cyclic pyranosides in good yield and excellent stereoselectivity.
