Synthesis of C-alkyl and functionalised C-alkyl glycosides is achieved by d
esulphurisation of the corresponding thiophene glycosides, wherein 'thiophe
ne' is utilised as a masked four-carbon synthon, Thiophene glycosides in tu
rn were prepared from the corresponding sugar lactols. (C) 2000 Elsevier Sc
