Reaction of xylofuranoside 4, glucopyranoside 13, and the related hemiacetals 10, 16, and 17 with allyltrimethylsilane and titanium(IV) chloride resulted in allylation at C-1 to give acyclic products with a high degree of stereoselectivity. Chelation of the Lewis acid at O-4/O-5 or O-5/O-6 in the glycosides is thought to be responsible for the unusual substitution of their endocyclic C-O bond under these conditions.
