Ab. Charette et al., THE USE OF ALPHA-D-GLUCOPYRANOSIDES AS SURROGATES FOR THE BETA-L-GLUCOPYRANOSIDES IN THE STEREOSELECTIVE CYCLOPROPANATION REACTION, Tetrahedron letters, 35(4), 1994, pp. 513-516
Treatment of substituted allyl a-D-glucopyranosides with Et(2)Zn/CH2I2
in t-butyl methyl ether produced the corresponding cyclopropane deriv
atives in >90% yields with diastereoselectivities ranging from 11:1 to
17:1.
