Carbohydrate mimetics for the study of carbohydrate recognition in biological systems can be C-glycosides, which can now be prepared by the SmI2-mediated coupling of glycosyl phosphates with carbon radical or carbon anion acceptors. The reaction proceeds by one-electron processes via the radical or the anion, respectively (see scheme on the right), and is complete within 15–30 min.
