Short and efficient synthesis of chiral furyl carbinols from carbohydrates.
[reaction: see text] Common sugar derivatives can be transformed in a few steps into chiral-substituted furyl carbinols. The mildness of the reaction conditions and the good yields obtained make this procedure an interesting alternative to the conventional processes.
