A rearrangement strategy was used for the synthesis of α‐ and β‐ gem ‐difluorocarba‐ D ‐glucose, which are close congeners of α‐ and β‐ D ‐glucose, in which the endocyclic oxygen atom has been replaced by a gem ‐difluoromethylene group (see scheme). The two anomers α or β were obtained stereoselectively by the use of steric or electronic control, respectively. TIBAL=triisobutylaluminum.
