In recent years C-glycoside formation has been of interest.1 It has been established that C-glycoside analogues of naturally occurring O-glycosides can often display interesting differences in their reactivity and biological activity.2 The synthesis of many different C-glycosyl compounds commences from a glycosyl prop-2-ene.3
