C-Glycoside formation of mono-protected resorcinols is described. Treatment of mono-O-acyl resorcinols with glycosyl fluoride 1 (2,3,5-tri-O-methyl-α-D-ribofuranosyl fluoride) at -78 °C in the presence of diethyl ether-boron trifluoride or hafnocene dichloride/silver perchlorate led to rapid formation of the O-aryl glycoside. Subsequent warming of the reaction mixture effected conversion of the O-glycoside to the corresponding C-glycoside. The aryl C-glycoside bond was selectively formed at the ortho-position of the free phenolic hydroxyl group. Several selective manipulations of the products are described, which clearly illustrate their versatility as synthetic intermediates for natural aryl C-glycoside antibiotics.
