S. Yamago et al., Synthesis of vinylic C-glycosides from telluroglycosides. Addition of photochemically and thermally generated glycosyl radicals to alkynes, TETRAHEDR L, 40(12), 1999, pp. 2343-2346
Glycosyl radicals generated from telluroglycosides react with a variety of
alkynes to give the corresponding vinylic C-glycosides in good to excellent
yields. The reaction takes place in an atom transfer manner to form vinyl
telluride, and the resulting C-Te bond is transmetalated to the C-Zn bond w
ith Et2Zn or reduced to the C-H bond with tributyltin hydride. (C) 1999 Els
