M. Cavicchioli et al., A STEREOSELECTIVE AND PREPARATIVE ENTRY TO 1,2-ANHYDROSUGARS THROUGH OXIDATION OF GLYCALS WITH PERFLUORO-CIS-2,3-DIALKYLOXAZIRIDINES, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (8), 1995, pp. 901-902
Perfluoro-cis-2,3-dialkyloxaziridines 1 perform the direct epoxidation
of glycals 2 to give cleanly corresponding 1,2-anhydrosugars 3 with m
edium to complete diastereoselection; elaboration of these glycals to
glycosyl fluorides and lipid conjugates is also reported.
