Branched-chain Sugars. XXII. Synthesis of Benzyl 2,3-Di-O-benzyl- and 2,3-O-Methylene-β-L-threo-pentopyranosid-4-uloses, and the Corresponding 6-Deoxy-α-D-xylo-hexopyranosid-4-uloses

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.54.2169

The title compounds were synthesized from L-arabinose and D-glucose as intermediates to a few naturally occurring branched-chain sugars.Oxidation conditions of precursors to the corresponding 4-uloses were examined.
