Indium-mediated alkynylation reaction was studied for the direct preparation of
C-glycosides. Easily available starting sugar derivatives withan acetyl group at the anomeric position were tested as elec
trophiles toward alkynylindium reagents under Barbier conditions. Good yieldsand stereoselectivities were observed during the reaction. The alkynylation was applied to the synthesis of an
