[GRAPHICS]
Addition of a variety of arylboronic acids to peracetylated glycals takes p
lace in the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd(OAc)(2). The reaction invo
lves the syn addition of a sigma -aryl-Pd complex to the glycal double band
followed by anti elimination of Pd(OAc)(2) to provide a carbon-ferrier typ
e product, This method provides a practical and convenient stereoselective
synthesis of C-arylglycosides.
