Abstract

In the presence of Lewis acid catalysts O-substituted glycal derivatives can react with O-, S-, C- and, less frequently, N-, P- and halide nucleophiles to give 2,3- unsaturated glycosyl products.

It was almost 50 years after Fischer’s seminal finding that water took part in the reaction3 that Ann Ryan, working in George Overend’s Department in Birkbeck College, University of London, found, by chance, that p-nitrophenol likewise participates.16 Robin Ferrier, her immediate supervisor, who suggested her experiment, then found that simple alcohols at high temperatures also take part,17 and with other students, notably Nagendra Prasad and George Sankey, he explored the reaction extensively. They did not apply it to make the very important C-glycosides.
