title = "Erythrose sesqui-acetals as electrophiles. 2-Deoxy-C-nucleosides from D-glucose.",
abstract = "Cleavage of glucosides with NalO4 in MeOH furnishes sesqui-acetals (protected dialdehydes). Olefination of these substrates, followed by endocyclic oxymercuration-demercuration furnishes substituted tetrahydrofurans (1,2-dideoxy-1-aryl-D-ribofuranoses). Proper choice of protecting groups can affect the face selectivity of the oxymercuration step to provide only the desired β-C-anomer.",

note = "Funding Information: It is noteworthy that the synthetic approach described in this paper is short and highly convergent. Work is presently underway to extend this methodology to more biologically relevant targets by using heterocyclic Wittig reagents.It, ls Acknowledgement. We would like to thank Dr. Jaroslav Zajicek for his assistance with the NMR, and the Department of Chemistry at the University of Arizona for the financial support of this work.",
