Organophotocatalytic access to C-glycosides: multicomponent coupling reactions using glycosyl bromides†
Abstract
Photochemical multi-component coupling reactions initiated by the activation of glycosyl bromides in the presence of 1,4-bis(diphenylamino)benzene (BDB) as an organic photocatalyst were developed. C-glycosides accompanied by olefin (di)functionalization were obtained. This method allows us to access various C-glycosides with alkene, carbonyl, alcohol, ether, and amide functionalities.
