Stereoselective free radical reactions in the preparation of 2-deoxy-β-D-glucosides
Abstract
Decarboxylation of the O-methyl, O-p-cresyl and O-3β-cholestanyl glycosides of 3-deoxy-4,5,7-tri-O-benzyl-D-arabino-heptulosonic acid by means of the derived O-acyl thiohydroxamates leads stereoselectively to the corresponding 2-deoxy-β-D-glucosides.
