Intramolecular Pd-Catalyzed Anomeric C(sp3)-H Activation of Glycosyl Carboxamides.

An expedient method for the synthesis of fused glycosylquinolin-2-ones and glycosylspirooxindoles through an unprecedented intramolecular Pd-catalyzed anomeric C-H activation of the sugar moiety of 2-bromophenyl glycosylcarboxamides is reported. The scope of the reaction is broad and tolerates a wide range of functional groups.
