Abstract:
A series of β-C-glycosidic ketones were prepared starting from D-glucose, D-xylose sugars, D-mannose and D-cellobiose. The β-C-glycosidic ketones on aldol condensation with different aromatic aldehydes in presence of a suitable organocatalyst led to the formation of respective E- cinnamoyl glycosides stereoselectively in good yields as precursors for the synthesis of biologically active compounds.
Keywords: Glycosidic ketones; Aldol reaction; Cinnamoyl glycosides.
