Highly stereoselective introduction of fluorine-containing methyl groups at the 2 position of methyl glucoside was attained by use of the difluoromethylene derivative as a key intermediate via hydrogenation of exo- and endo-olefins, whose diastereofacial selectivity was considered to be governed by the anomeric methoxy group.
