33. However, we found it more convenient and economical to use KOH as the base for the double dehydrohalogenation step rather than the 300 mol % of Bu4N+HSO4’ reported in the Organic Syntheses procedure. Cf.: Sheehan, J. C.; Robinson, C. A. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1949, 71, 1436.

39. Chemical evidence for the Z-olefin geometry in 10 was gleaned at this stage from an attempted high temperature 13C NMR experiment wherein it was observed that prolonged heating of a C6D6 solution of 10 at 60 °C for a period of 4–5 h resulted in spontaneous cyclization to the dihydrofurans 11 and 12.

43. In fact, we had initially misassigned compounds 16 and 17, believing them to be anomeric allofuranosides, see ref lb.
44. The 13C chemical shift of the anomeric carbons in these compounds was, however, indicative of the spacial relationship between the substituents at C-4’ and C-5’ with the respective anomeric carbons of 15 and 16 (both 4‘,5’-trans disubstituted) resonating 7.8 and 5.6 ppm downfield of the anomeric carbon in 17 (4/,5/-cis disubstituted).

46. We did not experience any difficulty with this oxidation, performed here in aqueous acetone, due to the formation of (inactive) lower valent ruthenium carboxylates. Compare: Carlsen, P. H. J.; Katsuki, T.; Martin, V. S.; Sharpless, K. B. J. Org. Chem. 1981, 46, 3936.

52. Preliminary indication that the benzyloxycarbonyl group would survive these acidic nucleosidation conditions was available to us. See: Paulsen, H.; Brieden, M.; Benz, G. Justus Leibigs Ann. Chem. 1987, 565.
53. Acyclic nucleosides such as this are not unknown. See for example: Wolfrom, M. L.; Foster, A. B.; McWain, P.; Bebenburg, W. v.; Thompson, A. J. Org. Chem. 1961, 26, 3095.
54. The question of just what factors govern endocyclic versus exocyclic glycosyl cleavage in sugars is of general interest, but a detailed understanding of the problem remains somewhat elusive. (Of.: Cosse-Barbi, A.; Watson, D. G.; Dubois, J. E. Tetrahedron Lett. 1989, 163.
55. Dubois, J. E.; Cosse-Barbi, A.; Watson, D. G. Tetrahedron Lett. 1989, 167.
56. In the case at hand, we theorize that a combination of conformational and stereoe-lectronic factors must work together to make the endocyclic cleavage mode more favorable for the methyl β-allofuranoside 34. It would be interesting to compare the reactivity of the corresponding a-anomer of 34 (not shown) though this diastereomer is unavailable to us by the routes described here.
