Starting from selected aldoheptoses, which are readily available by means of the Kiliani¨CFischer C-elongation reaction of the corresponding aldohexoses, glycoconjugates presenting D-gluco, D-manno and D-galacto as well as GlcNAc motifs have been synthesised. Following this strategy, non-natural C-glycosyl type glycoconjugates, which can be utilised as building blocks for the composition of larger molecular constructions, are available by a very short synthetic approach. %K Amadori rearrangement %K C-glycosyl type glycoconjugates %K carbohydrate elongation %K non-natural carbohydrate conjugates %U http://dx.doi.org/10.3762/bjoc.8.185
