Abstract

A new route to exo-glycals 4 is described in which glycosyl sulfones 3 are subjected to the Meyers variant of the Ramberg-Backlund rearrangement. The conversion of sulfones derived from glucose, galactose, mannose, cellobiose, and ribose into di-, tri-, and tetra-substituted alkenes is reported. Preliminary mechanistic studies of this process are also described. ((C) Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2002).
