An oxidative/reductive, non-hydrolytic procedure for ‘unravelling’ complex acetals (glycosides): a possible chemical role for the exo-anomeric effect

Abstract
A non-hydrolytic procedure has been developed for cleavage of complex acetals/glycosides in which one of the acetal oxygen atoms undergoes oxidative, bromine-induced addition to a remote olefinic centre, with formation of a tetrahydrofuran ring, which is subsequently cleaved reductively with zinc.
