title: 2-C-branched glycosides from 2'-carbonylalkyl 2-O-Ms(Ts)-C-glycosides. A tandem SN2-SN2 reaction via 1,2-cyclopropanated sugars.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Under basic conditions, 2'-aldehydo (acetonyl) 2-O-Ms(Ts)-alpha-C-glycosides undergo an intramolecular S(N)2 reaction to form 1,2-cyclopropanated sugars, which react with nucleophiles (alcohols, thiols, and azide) at the anomeric carbon to give 2-C-branched glycosides. By way of contrast, the 1,2-cyclopropanes derived from 2'-ketones only react with thiols to give 2-C-branched thioglycosides.
