Application to glycoside and nucleoside synthesis

In the reaction with 6-bromo-2-naphthol, no simple glycosides were obtained, but a mixture of tetracyclic compounds in yields of 32 % and 44 %, respectively (zirconocene activator). The hafnium reagent gave the same products in a similar ratio (21% and 44% yield) [30],
