T. Kumazawa et al., PRACTICAL SYNTHESIS OF A C-GLYCOSYL FLAVONOID VIA O-]C GLYCOSIDE REARRANGEMENT, Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan, 68(5), 1995, pp. 1379-1384
The C-glycosylation of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl f
luoride and 2-acetylphloroglucinol 3,5-bis(alkyl ether) in the presenc
e of boron trifluoride etherate as an activator stereoselectively gave
the beta-C-glucoside in a good yield via O-->C glycoside rearrangemen
t. Subsequently, aldol condensation of the C-glucoside with benzaldehy
de afforded the corresponding beta-C glucosyl chalcone in a good yield
