title: Synthesis and solution conformational analysis of 2,3-anhydro-3-C-[(1R)-2,6-anhydro-1-deoxy-1-fluoro-D-glycero-D-gulo-heptitol-1-C-yl]-beta-D-gulo-furanose: first example of a monofluoromethylene-linked C-disaccharide.
abstract: Condensation of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-beta-D-glucopyranosylcarbaldehyde with isolevoglucosenone induced by Et(2)AlI, followed by epoxidation, gave an aldol that was fluorinated into a monofluoromethylene C-glucopyranoside that was converted into the title C-disaccharide 1. Its conformational behavior in water has been studied by using a combination of NMR spectroscopy (J and NOE data) and molecular mechanics calculations.
