Model Substrate/Inactivation Reactions for MoaA and Ribonucleotide Reductases: Loss of Bromo, Chloro, or Tosylate Groups from C2 of 1,5-Dideoxyhomoribofuranoses upon Generation of an α-Oxy Radical at C3

We report studies on radical-initiated fragmentations of model 1,5-dideoxyhomoribofuranose derivatives with bromo, chloro, and tosyloxy substituents on C2. The effects of stereochemical inversion at C2 were probed with the corresponding arabino epimers. In all cases, the elimination of bromide, chlo...
