Synthesis of densely functionalised C-glycosides by a tandem oxy Michael addition–Wittig olefination pathway

Wittig olefination of 5,6-dideoxy-5,6-anhydro-6-nitro-d-glucofuranose (5) triggered a concomitant cyclisation via oxy Michael addition of the C2-hydroxyl group resulting in the formation of C-vinyl glycosides with Z-olefinic geometry.
