Synthesis of all eight stereoisomeric 6-deoxy-l-hexopyranosyl donors - Trends in using stereoselective reductions or mitsunobu epimerizations

Article abstract of DOI:10.1002/ejoc.201403074

The synthesis of all eight rare but biologically important 6deoxy-L-hexoses as their thioglycoside glycosyl donors starting from the commercially available L-rhamnose or L-fucose is reported. The synthesis of all eight 6-deoxy-L-hexoses was accomplished u
