a/b ratios were obtained in
the reactions of 2 and 3. Thus, the high stereoselectivity ob-
served in conventional O- and S-Ferrier rearrangement should
be caused by anomerization. Low stereoselectivity observed
herewith is a drawback for a synthetic method, but should have
an advantage for using compounds 2–4 as substrates for combi-
natorial chemistry.

1. Experimental
1.1. General methods
Melting points are uncorrected. Optical rotations were deter-
mined with a Horiba High Sensitive Polarimeter (SEPA-200). Most
of the reactions were monitored by TLC using silica gel coated on
glass. Products were purified by flash column chromatography
and recrystallized if necessary. NMR spectra were measured on a
Bruker AVANCE 400 instrument (400 MHz/1H, 100 MHz/13C) with
TMS as an internal standard. Some signals were assigned by the
use of COSY, HMQC, HMBC, and/or NOESY. IR spectra were re-
corded for KBr pellets on a Perkin–Elmer Spectrum One FTIR spec-
