The Bu3SnH-AIBN induced radical additions of 3,5-di-O-acetyl-6-deoxy-6-iodo-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-gluco- and -allofuranose (1 and 10), and methyl 5-deoxy-5-iodo-2,3-O-isopropylidene-β-D-ribofuranoside (19) to dimethyl maleate, methyl acrylate, acrylonitrile, methyl vinyl ketone, and vinylene carbonate gave various types of higher-carbon sugars.
