A flexible synthetic access to six-membered l- and d-iminosugar C-glycosides is reported starting from the easily available 6-azido-6-deoxy-2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-d-glucopyranose precursor. This methodology involves a highly diastereoselective tandem ring enlargement/alkylation and a stereocontrolled ring contraction. It allows an efficient synthesis of iminosugar C-glycosides displaying structural diversity at both C-1 and C-6.
