title: Stereocontrolled synthesis of C-glycosides: further studies on the organolithium reagents derived from 2-deoxy-D-glucose and D-glucose.
abstract: The addition of alpha- and beta-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranosyl lithium reagents i and ii to prochiral aldehydes is a syn-selective process, synthetically useful only with the alpha-lithio reagent i (syn:anti selectivity of approximately 10:1 with saturated aldehydes). This has been demonstrated by using propionaldehyde and converting the syn-isomers of both series to an easily identified acyclic meso-chain (alpha-series) or a C2 symmetric acyclic chain (beta-series). The preparation of alpha- and beta-D-glucopyranosyl dilithio reagents 26 and 27 is possible but a notable decrease in efficiency and facial selectivity is observed in coupling reactions with model aldehydes.
