Abstract
An efficient synthesis of 2-deoxy-L-ribose was achieved without chromatography starting from its enantiomer 2-deoxy-D-ribose in more than 30% overall yield. An unexpected product, 2-deoxy-xylose, was obtained under slightly different reaction conditions and isolated with partial racemization. The structure of the scalemic 2-deoxy-xylose was confirmed by X-ray crystallography.
