02 - 219Synthesis of Alditols by Reductive Radical Fragmentation of N-Phthalimido Glycosides. Preparation of Chiral Synthetic Intermedi-ates. — Reduction of N-phthalimido glycofuranosides with Bu3SnH/AIBNresults in radical β-fragmentation of the carbohydrate C1–C2 bond yieldingthe corresponding alditols with one carbon fewer. — (MARTIN, ANGELES;RODRIGUEZ, MARIA S.; SUAREZ, ERNESTO; Tetrahedron Lett. 40 (1999)42, 7525-7528; Inst.
