Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00241a012

Nucleophilic ring-opening reactions of the title compound 6 and its (benzyloxy)methyl ether 27 with different nucleophiles resulted in exclusive formation of 3-substituted 3-deoxyxylose derivatives.On the basis of these experiments, it is postulated that
