Abstract

Glycals and 4-deoxypentenosides (4-DPs), unsaturated pyranosides with similar structures and reactivity profiles, can exhibit a high degree of stereoselectivity upon epoxidation with dimethyldioxirane (DMDO). In most cases, the glycals and their corresponding 4-DP isosteres share the same facioselectivity, implying that the pyran substituents are largely responsible for the stereodirecting effect. Fully substituted dihydropyrans are subject to a “ ...
