An enantioselective synthesis of carbafuranose sugars based on a linchpin carbacyclisation approach

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/j.tetasy.2009.02.019

Enantiopure carbafuranose derivatives were synthesised via a linchpin carbacyclisation process starting from 1,4-bisepoxides. Both 2-deoxy and 2-deoxy-6-hydroxycarbafuranose derivatives were obtained, which were converted to suitably protected precursors
