A novel metal-free strategy for a rapid and α-selctive C-alkynylation of glycals was developed. The reaction utilizes TMSOTf as a promoter to generate in situ trimethylsilylacetylene for C-alkynylation. Thanks to this methodology, we can access C-glycosides in a single step from a variety of acetylenes , i.e., arylacetylenes and most importantly aliphatic alkynes.
开发了一种新颖的无金属策略,用于快速和α-选择性的甘露醇基的C-炔基化。该反应利用TMSOTf作为促进剂,生成原位三甲基硅乙炔用于C-炔基化。借助这种方法,我们可以从各种乙炔(如芳基乙炔和最重要的脂肪族炔烃)中以单步方式获得C-糖苷。
