Abstract
Abstract Sugar intermediates 4- C -methyl-2,3,5-tri- O -benzyl- d -ribofuranose ( 8b ) and 4- C -methyl-2,3,5-tri- O -benzyl- l -lyxofuranose ( 8a ) were synthesized by addition of alkylithium reagents to pentanones 3a , b . The nucleophilic additions proceeded with good stereoselectivity and good yields to give the titled compounds in four steps from perbenzylated methyl d -ribofuranoside and methyl 5′-deoxy- d -ribofuranoside.
