[GRAPHICS]This letter describes the reduction to practice of a novel concept for functionalization of the anomeric carbon of carbohydrates with a nitrogen substituent. Thus, bisheterodienes with a thiono sulfur terminus and a sulfonylimine terminus are shown to undergo cycloaddition smoothly and stereoselectively to three different glycals.

Retro Diels-Alder (RDA) reaction to form α-oxosulfines under very mild conditions. These reactive intermediates can be successfully trapped as dienophiles or as electron poor dienes in InverseElectronDemandDiels-Alderreaction (IEDDA). The relationship between the structure of the starting sulfoxide, the geometry of the intermediate sulfine and the stereochemistry of the final cycloadduct have been
