HF-Induced Intramolecular C-Arylation and C-Alkylation/Fluorination of 2-Aminoglycopyranoses.

Internal C-aryl and C-alkyl glycosides derived from 2-aminoglycopyranoses have been synthesized, exploiting a HF-mediated stereoselective intramolecular glycosylation. These conditions are compatible with acetate protecting groups and allow introduction of aromatics with various electronic distributions at the anomeric position. This strategy also provides straightforward entry to original fluorinated sugar-azacycle hybrids via a tandem internal C-glycosylation/fluorination reaction starting from 2-N-allyl/propargyl glycopyranoses. All cyclizations proceed in a 1,2-cis stereocontrolled manner.
