• ' reactivity under basic conditions. It appears that the regioselectivity observed in THF for the glucoside 2 was directed by three factors, the nature of the halogenated reagent (steric effect), the hydrogen bond network created by the alpha configuration and finally while unexpectedly the presence of an
