Abstract The aromatic Cope rearrangement is an elusive transformation that has been the subject of a limited number of investigations compared to those seemingly close analogues, namely the Cope and aromatic Claisen rearrangement. Herein we report our investigations inspired by moderate success…
Abstract An atom-economic and diazo-free strategy for the construction of novel pseudo anomeric C-1 alkenyl spirocyclopropyl sugars is described. Leveraging the 1,2-migration pathway of propargyl esters under gold(I) catalysis, easily available exo-glycals undergo β-selective alkenylcarbenoid…
Abstract Analogous to O-glycosides, C-glycosides are natural products exhibiting various bioactivities. Alkynyl C-glycosides represent important key intermediates toward more complex derivatives; however, a convenient access through a single catalytic and highly stereocontrolled step remains an…
