15. Attempts to achieve greater conversions in the C-glycosylation reactions by adding excess Lewis acid (>10 equiv), by elevating the reaction temperature (*25 °C), or by increasing the reaction time (>lh) only led to lower overall yields of 5, presumably due to acid-induced cleavage of the aromatic benzyl ether protecting groups.

25. Glycoside 5b could also be used in the Vilsmeier formylation reaction, providing an 83% yield of the corresponding isobutyryl-protected aryl aldehyde. This substrate was not chosen to advance through the remainder of the synthesis for two reasons; first, the cost of isobutyryl chloride required for the preparation of 4b (and thus 5b) is about twice that of pivaloyl chloride, and second, slightly lower overall yields (∼55%) were obtained when the isobutyryl-protected aryl aldehyde was subjected to the coupling (with lithiated 10a and 10b) and isobutyrate deprotection reactions.
