Abstract

A novel gold-catalyzed C-glycosylation has been developed to gain access to α,(Z)-selective C-vinyl glycosides, starting from readily available glycals and propargylic carboxylate. This reaction involves a tandem intermolecular gold-catalyzed 1,3-acyloxy migration/Ferrier rearrangement with the involvement of allenic ester as the glycosyl acceptor. A wide range of substrate scope with good to excellent yields was achieved with complete diastereoselectivity.
