Ring contraction reactions of triflates of α-hydroxy-γ-lactones provide an approach to the sythesis of chiral polyfunctionalised oxetanes from sugars.Treatment of 1,2-O-isopropylidene-5-O-trifluoromethanesulphonyl-α-D-glucuronolactone with benzylamine or with potassium carbonate in methanol gave ring contraction reactions to form oxetanes in good yield.
