C-2-Methylene O- and C-glycosides are readily synthesized from C-2-acetoxym
ethyl glycals using Nafion-H(R), montmorillonite K-10, LiClO4 (0.07 M) in d
ichloromethane and Pd(PPh3)(4) as catalysts. Exclusive alpha or beta select
ivities have been observed with various primary, secondary and tertiary alc
ohols, phenols and diethyl malonate. Further, C-2-acetoxymethyl glycals are
also converted into corresponding alpha -methylene-delta -valerolactones i
n good yields in one step using m-CPBA in the presence of BF3. Et2O. (C) 20
