Abstract

The synthesis of 3′-deoxyribolactones was accomplished in a few steps from the commercially available 3-decyn-1-ol in 44% overall yield. The key transformation comprises a one-pot four-reaction hydrolysis-induced lactonization cascade. The strategy was employed to efficiently access optically active 5′-chloro-3′-deoxyribolactones. © Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2008.
