The chiral aldehydes (-)-(2S,5S)- and (-)-(2S,5R)-2-oxy>methyl>-5-methoxy-2,5-dihydrofuran-3-carbaldehyde (2 and 4) were synthesized in 60 and 15percent yield, respectively, by lithium bromide induced rearrangement of 6-O-silylated methyl 2,3- and 3,4-anhydro-α- and -β-D-hexopyranosides, obtained in two steps from methyl α- and β-D-glucopyranoside.Rearrangement of various other pento- and hexoside epoxides permitted the suggestion of probable reaction routes.Hydrogenation of the unsaturated aldehydes gave the corresponding saturated aldehydes in good yield.

Lithium bromide induced ring-contraction of benzyl 2,3- and 3,4-anhydro-β-D(and L)-ribopyranoside (1 and 4) in HMPA/toluene or tetramethylurea (TMU)/toluene gave (R)(and S)-2-(benzyloxy)-2,5-dihydrofufan-4-carboxaldehyde (2 and 5) together with a small amount of benzyl 4-bromo-4-deoxy-β-L(and D)-lyxopyranoside (3 and 6).The latter compound was formed with lithium bromide in 1,1,1-trichloroethane.Benzyl 2,3- and 3,4-anhydro-2-deuterio-β-L-ribopyranoside (4d and 8d) gave the deuterated aldehyde 5d, which carried a vinylic deuterium atom, wheraes benzyl 2,3-anhydro-4-deuterio-β-L-ribopyranoside (4d' ) gave the nondeuterated aldehyde 5.On the basis of these experiments, the mechanism of the ring-contraction as postulated.
