title: Indium-promoted Barbier-type allylations in aqueous media: a convenient approach to 4-C-branched monosaccharides and (1-->4)-C-disaccharides.
abstract: Starting from methyl 6-bromo-4,6-dideoxy-alpha-D-threo-4-enopyranoside, 4-C-branched sugars have been prepared through indium-promoted Barbier-type allylation of various aldehydes in aqueous media followed by hydroboration of the resulting double bond. The intermediate unsaturated monosaccharides were shown to rearrange in acidic media to give 4-C-acetyl-5-C-alkyl pyranose compounds. From beta-1-formyl sugars the corresponding beta-(1-->4)-C-disaccharides were obtained.
