4C-(1-Hydroxyalkyl)-substituted 2,3,6-tri-O-benzylglucopyranosides (S)-2a, (R)-2a, and 6 are transformed at low temperature into the corresponding triflates; they undergo immediately an SN2-type reaction leading to the formation of a trans-fused tetrahydrofuran ring under loss of the 6-O-benzyl group, thus yielding 2,4-dioxahydrindans (R)-3a, (S)-3a, and 7, respectively. 4C(α-Hydroxyallyl) and 4C(α-hydroxybenzyl) derivatives of 2 lead to 6-O-debenzylation and triflate/hydride exchange reactions, thus yielding entirely different reaction products.
