Rr. Diaz et al., SYNTHESIS OF FURANOSE GLYCALS FROM FURANOSE 1,2-DIOLS AND THEIR CYCLIC THIOCARBONATE ESTERS, Carbohydrate research, 300(4), 1997, pp. 375-380
Two new methods for the synthesis of furanoid glycals are described. B
oth procedures were shown to be faster and cheaper that those previous
ly reported. Protected 1,2-dihydroxypento- and hexo-furanose derivativ
es with the D-xylo, D-gluco and D-riba, D-allo configurations were use
d as starting material to afford the corresponding C-3,4 D-threo and D
-erythro glycals derivatives. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
