The stereoselective methylations and hydroxymethylations of 2,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3-one derivatives. Synthesis of branched-chain sugars
Abstract
The stereoselective C(4) alkylations of 6-exo,7-exo-(isopropylidenedioxy)-2,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3-one with Mel and PhCH2OCH2Br are presented; the products so-obtained have been converted to partially protected 5,6-dideoxy-5-C-methyl-D,L-ribo-hexofuranose and 5-deoxy-5-C-methyl-D,L-talo-hexofuranose.
