Carbohydrates are the basis of various kinds of industries; food and food products, textiles, starch, and starch products and, to a limited extent, general chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Aside from being inexpensive as starting materials, carbohydrates provide access to various series of stereoohemically related compounds. Such series make it convenient to conduct experi ments that evaluate reactivity as a function of stereochemistry. Many b io lo g ic a lly important compounds, ex p ecially nucleo sides^ ^ and antibiotics ,^1 ^ contain unusual sugars and there has (1) E. Walton, S. R. Jenkins, R. F. Nutt, M. Zimmerman, F.
