cis‐pyridinium‐type salts. These salts reacted with variousnucleophiles, such as alcohols, azides, and organozinc reagents, to form nucleophilic‐substitution products. A characteristic feature of these processes was that they took place under mild conditions, which did not affect acid‐labile protecting groups. Furthermore, the reactions that employed azides and C‐nucleophiles generated 2,6‐trans products with high
