Two- and three-component Hantzsch-type cyclocondensation reactions were carried out under thermal conditions using C-glycosylated reagents, namely sugar aldehydes, ketoesters, and enamines. Two different series of 1,4-dihydropyridines bearing C-glycosyl moieties at C4 and C6 were obtained in good to excellent overall yields (61-90%). The asymmetric induction due to carbohydrate residues was also investigated.
cyclocondensation reactionsleading to C-glycosylated dihydropyridines (DHPs) has been investigated. A three-component approach with an anomeric sugar aldehyde (galacto, manno, and ribo derivatives), a β-keto ester, and an aminocrotonate afforded C(4)-glycosylated DHPs in high yield (70–90%). A two-component cyclocondensation approach based on different glycosylated β-amino acrylates (sugar enamines) and an
