Abstract

A practical route towards the synthesis of 1, 2, 3-tri-O-acetyl-5-deoxy-d-ribofuranose from d- ribose is described. The key steps include deoxygenation of methyl 2, 3-O-isopropylidene-5- O-sulfonyloxy-β-d-ribofuranoside by reductive displacement employing hydride reagents. Subsequent total hydrolysis followed by acetylation led to the title compound in 56% overall yield from d-ribose. The sequence is simple, inexpensive, high yielding and clearly ...
