Carbohydrate research, 341(8), 1052-1056 (2006-03-28)
A new, efficient method has been developed for converting acyl-, arylalkyl- and alkyl-protected glycals into corresponding 2,3-dideoxy-alpha,beta-unsaturated carbohydrate enals utilizing the in situ generated push-pull effect resulting from the synergistic combination of HfCl4 and ZnI2 in catalytic amounts. This new
