[reaction: see text] Spirocyclic C-arylribosides were synthesized from the known gamma-ribonolactone derivative. Lithium acetylide addition followed by glycosylation with 3-(trimethylsilyl)propargyl alcohol converted the ribonolactone to silylated diynes. After desilylation or iodination, subsequent ruthenium-catalyzed cycloaddition of resultant diynes with alkynes or chloroacetonitrile gave spirocyclic C-arylribosides.
