Abstract

Discussion The required 2-substituted sugars 2 and 3 were prepared from the readily available 1, 3, 5-tri-O-benzoyl-a-~-ribo-furanose (1) 18 (Scheme I). Reaction of 1 with diazomethane in the presence of BF3 etherate to prevent acyl migration21 produced 2 (-75 9%) always accompanied by some starting material 1 (-15%). Varying reaction conditions could never achieve complete conversion of the starting sugars.
