Abstract

Cationic metallocene species, generated from Cp 2MCl 2 and AgClO 4 (M=Zr, Hf), were used for the glycosylation of catechin derivative 2 , enabling a concise synthesis of a glycosyl flavonoid, astilbin ( 1 ). Further study revealed the efficiency of this Lewis acidic species for S N1-type activation of the C(4) position of catechin derivative 11 , enabling selective substitution with various nucleophiles.
