M. Kassou et S. Castillon, EFFICIENT PROCEDURE FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF ERYTHRO AND THREO FURANOID GLYCALS FROM 2-DEOXYRIBOSE, Tetrahedron letters, 35(30), 1994, pp. 5513-5516
Differently protected erythro and threo furanoid glycals have been syn
thesised starting from 2-deoxyribose, via selenoxide elimination as th
