Stereoselective C-C Bond Formation in Carbohydrates by Radical Cyclization Reactions; V. Application for the Synthesis of α-C (2) -Branched Sugars

Abstract
The stereoselectivity of the 5-exo radical cyclization reaction of allylic 2-deoxy-2-iodoglucopyranosides leading to α-C(2)-branched sugars is influenced by the substitution of the allylic double bond. The observed stereoselectivity for the formation of the chiral center on the newly formed tetrahydrofuran ring results from a less sterically hindered transition state of cyclization, except in the case of a cis phenyl substituted C=C double bond.
