Dear Dr. de Beer,
'C-glycoside Synthesis' by Maarten H.D. Postema, published by CRC Press in
1995 contains a chapter (no. 10) titled 'Synthesis of Naturally Occurring
Aryl C-Glycosides' which sounds like it may be helpful. There are 61
references in this chapter, some of which may prove useful for your
interests.
Sincerely,
Mike Q.
