“…It was not possible either to displace the triflates in 10 by any of an umber of nucleophilicsourcesoffluoride (including TASF, TBAF andC sF) or to introduce fluorine directly by reaction of the alcohol 9 with DAST [35] or Xtalfluor. [36] Accordingly,t reatment of diacetylrhamnal 15 with Select-Fluor in aqueous acetonitrile [37] followed by acetylation with acetic anhydridei np yridine during the workup caused electrophilic fluorination to give am ixture of the four sugar triacetates 46 a/b and 47 (Scheme 6) with little stereoselectivity.O ne Scheme4.i) (CF 3 SO 2 ) 2 O, pyridine,T HF, À20 8C, 95 %, ii)NaN 3 ,DMF, À40 8C, 75 %, iii)DIBALH, CH 2 Cl 2 , À78 8C, 3h,8 4%,i v) see text;85% 36 from 10, v) (CF 3 SO 2 ) 2 O, pyridine, THF, À20 8C, vi)NaN 3 ,DMF, À40 8C, 70 % 36 and 24 % 34 (over two steps), vii)DIBALH, CH 2 Cl 2 , À78 8C, 3h,87%.…”
