title: Synthesis of novel alpha-C-glycosylamino acids and reverse regioselectivity in Larock's heteroannulation for the synthesis of the indole nucleus.
abstract: An alpha-C-iodoethynylglucose derivative was coupled with an L-serine-derived zinc-copper reagent to give alpha-C-glucosylpropargyl glycine, which underwent palladium catalyzed-heteroannulation with o-iodoaniline to give not alpha-C-glucosyl-tryptophan but alpha-C-glucosyl-iso-tryptophan. This is the first observation of complete reverse regioselectivity to Larock's proposal.
