The susceptibility of glycal-derived carbinols to acid-catalyzed ring expansion is described. In the systems prepared from cyclopentanone, Ferrier ionization precedes the pinacol-like Wagner-Meerwein shift, thermodynamic control operates, and high stereoselectivity is seen if a C(6) substituent is present. In contrast, the adducts to cyclobutanone exhibit release of ring strain under kinetically controlled conditions and intercept the oxonium species reversibly formed via direct proton transfer. The results show that the substituents positioned on the glycal ring have a pronounced influence on whether a chair-like or twist-boat transition state geometry is adopted primarily. The composite reaction profiles reveal for the first time the fundamental importance of exothermicity and of substitution in these spiro glycosidation reactions. Since optical activity is preserved in all instances, the utility of this chemistry for the synthesis of bis-C,C-glycosides and more complex oxacyclics appears promising.
