title: Synthesis of C-glycopyranosyl compounds by a palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction of 1-tributylstannyl-D-glucals with organic halides.
abstract: 1-Tributylstannyl-D-glucals, prepared from the corresponding 1-phenylsulfonyl-D-glucals, were coupled efficiently to various organic halides in the presence of a palladium(0) catalyst. This mild reaction is specially useful for the preparation of 1-C-aryl-D-glucals and compatible with unprotected hydroxy groups or hindered aromatic bromides. It has been shown that the resulting 1-C-aryl(alkyl)-D-glucals are suited for further synthetic manipulation of the enol ether group, including stereoselective hydrogenation, hydroboration-oxidation, or epoxidation. All compounds formed resulted from the attack of the alpha-face of the glucal derivatives by the reagent. The reaction, extended to 1,3-, 1,4-di-, and 1,3,5-tri-bromobenzenes, leads to the corresponding symmetrical di-(tri)-C-glucosylbenzenes. Finally, a sequential di-C-glucosylation of 1,3-dibromobenzene with two different 1-stannylated glucals was obtained.
