Enantiomerically pure (2R,4S)-4-hydroxypipecolic acid [(+)-1] was synthesized from D-glucoheptono-1,4-lactone (2) via the 3,5-dideoxy-D-xylo- heptono-1,4-lactone (7). The latter was readily prepared by benzoylation of 2, followed by β-elimination and diastereoselective hydrogenation of the resulting furanones (4). Compound 7 was converted into the 6,7-O- cyclohexylidene derivative 11, which on treatment with tosyl chloride for long periods afforded the 2-chloro derivative 14, the precursor of the azide 15. Hydrogenolysis of 15 and protection of the amine gave the N- benzyloxycarbonyl derivative 19, having the required configuration for the stereocenters at C-2 and C-4. Removal of the cyclohexylidene group by hydrolysis and subsequent oxidative degradation of the resulting glycol system afforded the hexurono-6,3-lactone 21 as a key intermediate. Chemoselective reduction of the aldehyde function of 21 led to the alcohol 23, which was derivatized as the mesylate 24. Releasing of the amino group by hydrogenation, and dissolution of resulting 25 in aqueous alkali, promoted the intramolecular nucleophilic displacement of the mesylate to give (+)-1. Its enantiomer [(-)-1] was prepared by a similar sequence starting from 2.

Treatment of per-O-benzoyl-D-glycero-D-gulo-heptono-1,4-lactone (2) with tertiary amines afforded selectively and with good yields the (5H)-furan-2-one derivatives 3, 4, and 5, formed by controlled elimination of one, two, or three molecules of benzoic acid, respectively. The stereochemistry for the exocyclic double bonds of 4 and 5 was determined by means of NMR techniques. Particularly, the furanone 4 was obtained from 2 (～90% yield) as a mixture of the E and Z diastereoisomers, which were separated by column chromatography or, more efficiently, by HPLC. The catalytic hydrogenation of compounds 4-E and 4-Z took place diastereoselectively, due to the chiral induction of the stereocenter located in the lateral chain. Thus, hydrogenation of 4-E led to a mixture of the 4,5-dihydro-(3H)-furan-2-ones having 3R,5S,2′S (D-xylo, 6) and 3S,5R,2′S (D-arabino, 7) configurations, with 6 as the major product; whereas the 4-Z isomer gave the same mixture, but being 7 preponderant. On hydrogenation of the original 4-E / Z mixture, compound 6 was obtained pure after recrystallization. O-Debenzoylation of 6 gave 9, which was reduced with NaBH4 to the 3,5-dideoxy-meso-xylo-heptitol (11). The peracetate (12) and perbenzoate (13) of the latter were prepared, and the 1-(tert-butyldiphenylsilyl)oxy derivative (16) was also synthesized via the 3′-(silyloxy)-4,5-dihydro-(3H)-furan-2-one 14. Chemoselective reduction of the lactone function of 6 with diisoamylborane gave the 2,5,6-tri-O-benzoyl-3,6-dideoxy-D-xylo-heptofuranose (17). The 3,5-dideoxy-D-arabino-heptitol (18), a diastereoisomer of 11, was also isolated and characterized.
