Abstract

Treatment of 5-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-2,3-O-isopropylidene-D-ribose with lithium acetylides gave mixtures of syn- and antialkynols 2a–2c which were separated following protection as methoxymethyl ethers. These were converted to the corresponding
iodides which underwent 6-exo-dig radical cyclisation to afford chiral cyclohexanes and carbasugars. Oxidation of the primary
alcohols 6a–b gave the corresponding aldehydes which on treatment with Grignard reagents afforded a mixture of alcohols. The
corresponding iodides underwent similar 6-exo-dig cyclisation to give fully functionalised cyclohexanes
