Preparation of cyclitol derivatives from sugar lactones via spiro sugar ortho esters is described. The key steps are the novel enol ether formation from sugar ortho esters with A1Me3 and the efficient intramolecular aldol cyclization of alkyl enol ethers with ZnCl2 in THF/H2O. Firstly, the spiro sugar ortho esters 3a-c were prepared from the benzyl protected sugar lactones 1a-c and 2,2-dimethylpropanediol (2). These ortho esters were efficiently converted into the enol ethers 5a-c by the treatment of AlMe3 in CH2Cl2. The initial step of this reaction was the pyran ring cleavage accompanied by the methyl anion insertion, and the second was the dioxane ring opening caused by the Lewis acidity of AlMe3. The resulting alkyl enol ethers were treated with DMSO/Ac2O, and the formed keto compounds were converted into the carbasugars 9a-c by the ZnCl2-catalyzed aldol cyclization in THF/H2O. The overall yields of 9a, 9b, and 9c based on the corresponding lactones 1a-c were 64, 64, and 54%, respectively. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

(Formula presented) A short step preparation of cyclitol derivative 8 which is a versatile synthon for the synthesis of valiolamine and its related compounds is described. Key steps in this preparation are a novel enol ether formation from spiro sugar ortho esters with AIMe3 and an intramolecular Aldol condensation of alkyl enol ethers catalyzed by ZnCl2 in THF-H2O. With these reactions, gluconolactone derivative 1 was efficiently converted into 8 in short steps.
