Shi, Z.-D.;Yang, B.-H.;Wu, Y.-L. published 《A stereospecific synthesis of L-ribose and L-ribosides from D-galactose》. The research results were published in《Tetrahedron Letters》 in 2001.Computed Properties of C13H18O9 The article conveys some information:
An inexpensive D-galactose was converted into L-ribose and its derivatives via mild reaction conditions. The L-ribosyl donor was submitted to a glycosidation according to Vorbruggen’s conditions to give L-riboside nucleosides, e.g. L-adenosine, in high yields. And (2R,3S,4S,5S)-5-(Acetoxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-2,3,4-triyl triacetate (cas: 144490-03-9) was used in the research process.
(2R,3S,4S,5S)-5-(Acetoxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-2,3,4-triyl triacetate(cas:144490-03-9 Computed Properties of C13H18O9) 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.
