The biological importance of C-aryl glycosides has led to the development of a large number of synthetic methods for their construction. 1, 2 We have recently reported a new stereoselective synthesis of 2-furanoic acids from β-(triethylsilyl) oxyaldehydes and R- diazoester, 3 and hoped to apply this same strategy to the synthesis of deoxy C-aryl glycosides. Our progress toward this goal is presented here with the report of a new ...
