Abstract:
We herein describe the unprecedented use of heteroaryl vinyl sulfides and vinyl dithiocarbamates as hetero-Michael addition acceptors. Combined chelating and electron-withdrawing effects are postulated to stabilise the transient anionic species and allow smooth Michael-induced ring closure to produce diversely functionalised C-glycosides.
