C-Glycosylation involving glycosyl radical intermediates is a particularly effective approach to access C-glycosides, which are core units of a great number of natural products, bioactive compounds and marketed drugs.
With glycosyl ortho-alkynylbenzoates as donors, the highly efficient glycosylation of flavonoid 5-OH which are notorious for their low reactivity due to their involvement in the formation of strong intramolecular H-bonds was achieved under the catalysis of a Au(i) complex. Thus, a series of flavonoid 5-O-glycosides, including a kaempferol 5-O-disaccharide, were synthesized with good to excellent yields.
We have developed a photo-mediated method for the synthesis of C2- phosphinylated carbohydrates from glycals and diarylphosphine oxides. This approach avoids over-stoichiometric transition-metal promoters used in previous methods and shows...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
