A highly efficient and convenient C-glycosylation method was developed using ruthenium(III) chloride for the synthesis of 2,3-unsaturated C-glycosides. Various nucleophiles such as allyl trimethylsilane, triethylsilane, trimethylsilyl cyanide, trimethylsilyl azide and heterocycles such as thiophene and furan reacted smoothly with glycals in the presence of catalytic amount of ruthenium trichloride under mild reaction conditions.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D002384	Catalysis	The facilitation of a chemical reaction by material (catalyst) that is not consumed by the reaction.	Catalyses
D006027	Glycosides	Any compound that contains a constituent sugar, in which the hydroxyl group attached to the first carbon is substituted by an alcoholic, phenolic, or other group. They are named specifically for the sugar contained, such as glucoside (glucose), pentoside (pentose), fructoside (fructose), etc. Upon hydrolysis, a sugar and nonsugar component (aglycone) are formed. (From Dorland, 28th ed; From Miall's Dictionary of Chemistry, 5th ed)	Glycoside
D006031	Glycosylation	The synthetic chemistry reaction or enzymatic reaction of adding carbohydrate or glycosyl groups. GLYCOSYLTRANSFERASES carry out the enzymatic glycosylation reactions. The spontaneous, non-enzymatic attachment of reducing sugars to free amino groups in proteins, lipids, or nucleic acids is called GLYCATION (see MAILLARD REACTION).

D012428	Ruthenium	A hard, brittle, grayish-white rare earth metal with an atomic symbol Ru, atomic number 44, and atomic weight 101.07. It is used as a catalyst and hardener for PLATINUM and PALLADIUM.
D013237	Stereoisomerism	The phenomenon whereby compounds whose molecules have the same number and kind of atoms and the same atomic arrangement, but differ in their spatial relationships.
