A de Novo Synthesis of 2,6-Dideoxy-C-aryl Glycosides Based on Ring Closing Metathesis and Diastereoselective Epoxide Cleavage/Anomerization Reactions

[formula: see text] This paper describes a synthesis of enantiomerically pure 2,6-dideoxy-C-aryl glycosides, starting from non-carbohydrate precursors. The s...
