Oct-2-enitols undergo a Pd(0)-mediated cyclization to produce C-vinyl α-gluco- and α-galactopyranosides, and C-vinyl β-mannopyranoside in good yield and with high stereoselectivity. While substrate control demonstrates a clear stereochemical preference during cyclization, the α- and β-epimeric ratios are enhanced by double diastereoselection using the (S,S) or (R,R)-DACH ligands.
