Shi, Zhen-Dan;Yang, Bing-Hui;Wu, Yu-Lin published 《A stereospecific synthesis of L-deoxyribose, L-ribose and L-ribosides》 in 2002. The article was appeared in 《Tetrahedron》. They have made some progress in their research.Name: (2R,3S,4S,5S)-5-(Acetoxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-2,3,4-triyl triacetate The article mentions the following:

Using an inexpensive D-galactose from the chiral pool, L-deoxyribose, L-ribose and their derivatives were synthesized via mild reaction conditions. During the synthesis of L-deoxyribose, the key deoxygenation of the 2-hydroxy group of 3,5-O-dibenzyl-methyl-L-arabinofuranoside was performed by reduction of the corresponding triflate with tetrabutylammonium borohydride in high yield. During the synthesis of L-ribose, the key step of inversion of the 2-hydroxy group in the same substrate was carried out by intramol. S_N2 tandem reaction. Then the L-ribosyl donors were submitted to glycosidations according to Vorbruggen’s conditions to give L-ribosides (L-uridine, L-5-fluorouridine, L-iodouridine, L-thymidine, L-puridine, L-adenosine and L-guanosine) in excellent yields.(2R,3S,4S,5S)-5-(Acetoxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-2,3,4-triyl triacetate (cas: 144490-03-9) were involved in the experimental procedure.

(2R,3S,4S,5S)-5-(Acetoxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-2,3,4-triyl triacetate(cas:144490-03-9 Name: (2R,3S,4S,5S)-5-(Acetoxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-2,3,4-triyl triacetate) is an isomer of 1,2,3,5-Tetra-O-acetyl β-D-Ribofuranose (T283100) which is used in the synthesis of 3-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)-2,3-dihydro-6H-1,3-oxazine-2,6-dione, a new pyrimidine nucleoside analog related to uridine.
