Abstract

We described a novel palladium-catalyzed C-H glycosylation of indole or tryptophan for a one-pot stereoselective synthesis of 2,3-diglycosylindoles and tryptophan-C-glycosides. In this strategy, the use of air and base-free and ligand-free conditions provided a highly efficient route to construct C-glycosides. The method can be applied to a wide range of cost-effective and convenient glycosyl chloride donors. Mechanistic studies indicated that the indole 2,3-diglycosylation sequence was C3 and then C2.
