The synthesis of [3.3.0] bicyclic tetrazoles derived from D-manno and D- rhamnofuranose staffing from D-mannose, and of L-rhamnofuranose starting from L-rhamnose is described. The key step in the formation of all three examples of this novel class of sugar mimics is an intramolecular [1,3]dipolar cycloaddition of azide and nitrile moieties.

The synthesis of tetrazoles derived from D-mannofuranose and both enantiomers of rhamnofuranose provides the first examples of tetrazole analogues of carbohydrates in the furanose form. The D-furanotetrazoles are potential mannosidase inhibitors whereas the L-rhamnotetrazole may interfere with the biosynthesis of cell walls of mycobacteria and provide a strategy for the treatment of tuberculosis and leprosy.
