In recent years, the synthesis of C-aryl glycosides through C-H functionalization has gained significant attention due to its efficiency and economy. This review focuses on the synthesis of C-aryl glycosides using C-H arylation of glycosides and C-H glycosylation of arenes, highlighting their regioselectivity and diastereoselectivity. It is observed that newly developed C-H glycosylation reactions exhibit better selectivity than traditional Friedel-Crafts glycosylation, with milder reaction conditions that are compatible with acid-sensitive protective groups. However, remote C-H glycosylation of aromatic hydrocarbons remains a relatively unexplored area that requires further research.
In recent years, the synthesis of C-aryl glycosides hrough C-H functionalization has attracted extensive attention of organic synthesis chemists due to its steps and atomic economy. In this concept, we systematically summarizes the synthesis of C-aryl glycosides with diverse regioselectivity and diastereoselectivity from the perspective of C-H arylation of glycosides and C-H glycosylation of arenes. It can be found that a series of recently developed C-H glycosylation reactions have higher site-selectivity and diastereomeric selectivity than Friedel-Crafts glycosylation reaction. The reaction conditions are milder, which can be compatible with acid-sensitive protective groups, such as acetals or ketals, and the deprotection is more convenient. It can be seen that there are few reports on remote C-H glycosylation of aromatic hydrocarbons, which is a new field and needs further research. In addition, C-H glycosylation has a lot of shortcomings, which need to be further explored: a) the precise regulation of stereoselectivity in the reaction process also needs further optimization; b) the research on the reaction mechanism is almost limited to DFT calculation, and there is no exact experimental evidence. For key parts, such as the specific reaction mechanism between cyclo-metal intermediates and glycosyl donors in ortho-C-Ar-H glycosylation is still unclear; c) due to the fact that aryl glycoside compounds contain bare hydroxyl groups in practical applications, it is an urgent problem to realize the compatibility of glycoside substrates containing naked hydroxyl groups or to remove the protective groups on hydroxyl groups by a mild and efficient method after the reaction; d) In this rapidly developing field, we need to study a greener, more economical and more practical C-H glycosylation of arenes in the future, which will be conducive to the synthesis of C-aryl glycosides with more biological application significance.
