Abstract

An atom-economic and diazo-free strategy for the construction of novel pseudo anomeric C-1 alkenyl spirocyclopropyl sugars is described. Leveraging the 1,2-migration pathway of propargyl esters under gold(I) catalysis, easily available exo-glycals undergo β-selective alkenylcarbenoid insertion in moderate to excellent yields. Preferential activation of propargyl moieties and concerted [2 + 1] insertion are both favored through ligand choice and electron enrichment of esters. Stereocontrol using conformational bias and rearrangement are also demonstrated.
