Abstract:
A series of cyclic C-glycosides were synthesized using the palladium-catalyzed stereoretentive intramolecular glycosylation of aryl iodides by employing a bulky phosphine ligand. A variety of functional groups are tolerated in the reaction, and enantioenriched anomeric nucleophiles could be coupled without erosion of optical purity. This study offers a unified method to access both cis- and trans-fused rings by capitalizing on the stereoretentive nature of the Stille reaction. In addition, competition experiments for intermolecular and intramolecular cross-couplings revealed secondary KIEs of 1.43 and 0.81, respectively, suggesting a profoundly different steric congestion at the transition state.
