2-deoxy-L-ribose from an L-arabinono-1,5-lactone

A practical synthesis of 2-deoxy-L-ribose from L-arabinose depends on the efficient reduction by iodide of a triflate α to a lactone. The X-ray crystal structure of 3,4-O-isopropylidene-L-arabinono-1,5-lactone is reported. © 2002 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
