In 1983, van Tamelen and Hwu') have reported an efficient synthesis of (\*)-progesterone (4) by biomimetic polycyclization of the epoxide 3 or 3a. The latter have been synthesized by coupling of the ylide 2 with the epoxy aldehyde 1 or 1 a, respectively. The syn-
5-Dcoxy-J,2-O-isopropylidene-S-C-(methoxyphenylphosphinyl)-~-O-~~thyl-n-D-ribofuranose (4) was prepared from 1,2-0-isopropylidene-3-O-methyl-a-D-ribo-pentodialdo-1,4-furanose by an addition reaction with methyl phenylphosphinate, followed by deoxygenation of the terminal HO-$H-P group of the adduct
