Abstract The palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of tinglucal and tingalactal derivatives with arenesulfonyl chlorides provides aryl C-glycoside precursors. Desulfitative carbonylative Stille cross-coupling between 1-naphthalenesulfonyl chloride and a tinglucal derivative gives, after stereoselective reduction of the keto moiety and stereoselective oxidative hydroboration, a protected form of 1-[(1S)-2, 6-anhydro-l-glycero-d-gulo-heptitol-1-C-yl] ...
