Carbonylative Suzuki–Miyaura Coupling of 1‐Iodoglycals Mediated by the N‐Heterocyclic Carbene Catalyst PEPPSI: Preparation of C‐Acyl Glycosides

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, Volume 29, Issue 7, 23 February 2026.
A multicomponent carbonylative Suzuki–Miyaura reaction was developed for the synthesis of C‐acyl glycosides. Using Pyridine‐Enhanced Precatalyst Preparation, Stabilization, and Initiation (PEPPSI‐IPr) catalysis and Mo(CO)6 as a solid CO source, the reaction enables selective carbonylation of three components in synthetically useful yields, providing a ...
