A Study on the Conformation−Anomeric Effect−Stereoselectivity Relationship in Anomeric Radical Reactions, Using Conformationally Restricted Glucose Derivatives as Substrates
that, since the stereoselectivity of anomericradical reactions is significantly influenced by the kinetic anomeric effect, which can be controlled by restricting the conformation of the radical intermediate, the proper conformational restriction of the pyranose ring of the substrates would therefore make highly alpha- and beta-stereoselective anomericradical reactions possible. This theory was based
