Abstract
Specific deuterated reference compounds were prepared to probe the stereoselectivity of the reductive ring opening of carbohydrate-based benzylidene-type acetals. AlD 3 revealed a retentive stereoselectivity probably through the rare S Ni (internal nucleophilic substitution) mechanism. An S N1-like mechanism occurs in the acid-promoted regioselective BD 3·THF- or Et 3SiD-reductive ring opening.
