This is the first report on the diastereoselective addition of carbon nucleophiles to vinyl
sulfone-modified hex-2-enopyranosides and pent-2-enofuranosides. Nucleophiles add to
the C-2 position from a direction opposite to that of the disposition of the anomeric methoxy
group. This novel concept of anomeric configuration-directed stereocontrolled carbon−
carbon bond formation in vinyl sulfone-modified carbohydrates is general in nature and has
been implemented in the synthesis of new hexopyranosyl and pentofuranosyl branched …
