Abstract: | C-Glycosyl derivatives XXXI. Some uses in Carbohydrate Chemistry of the 2-bromo-2-cyano ethenyl synthon Sugars bearing the synthon 2-bromo-2-cyano-ethenyl, ? CαH?Cγ(Br)C?N, reacted with binucleophiles, gave rise to α, α, α, β or α, γ ring-forming reactions. C-glycosyl-dioxolanes, -aziridines, -dithianes, -pyrimidines, -furanes and -pyrazoles were so obtained. The stereochemical paths of some of these reactions are discussed. |
