This work characterizes a previously undetected epimerization in the preparation of alkynyl diols from pentose precursors utilizing the Ohira-Bestmann reagent. Lithium trimethylsilyldiazomethane (Colvin reagent) additions to the d-ribose and d-lyxose-derived benzylidene acetals provide the respective alkynyl diol stereoisomers, without epimerization. Regioselective tungsten-catalyzed cycloisomerizations of the d-ribose- and d-lyxose-derived alkynyl diols yield rigid bicyclic pyranose glycals, confirming the stereochemical fidelity of the Colvin alkynylation process.
