A novel synthesis of 2-deoxy-L-ribose

We report a new synthesis of 2-deoxy-L-ribose starting from the commercially available (R)-(+)-5-hydroxymethyl-5H-furan-2-one. The key step is a 1,4-addition of (PhMe2Si)2Cu(CN)Li2 which proceeds with complete diastereoselection. Copyright (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
