✦ Synopsis


A recent report from this laboratory described the reaction in which unsaturated acetals are reductively rearranged to vinyl ethers by chloride-free LAH in ethereal solvents '. The value of this reaction is evident from its use for stereospecific syntheses of the epimeric 2monodeuterated 2-deoxyriboses ', which were subsequently employed to establish the stereochemistry of nucleotide deoxygenation '. A recent report by Achmatowicz and Szechner a offers a
