Stereoselective reduction of 3-O-hexofuranosyl S-methyl dithiocarbonates with tributyltin deuteride
Abstract
The reduction of several 3-O-hexofuranosyl (gluco, allo, galacto)S-methyl dithiocarbonates with tributyltin deuteride leads to highly stereoselective syntheses of 3-deoxy-3-deuterio-hexofuranoses.
