Aldol Reaction between Small Sugars. Preparation of DL-threo-2-Pentulose and DL-lyxo-3-Hexulose and their Isolation as O-Isopropylidene Derivatives

The improved diastereoselectivity obtained with strongly basic anion-exchange resin as catalyst in aldol condensation between two-, three- and four-carbon "sugars" has been utilised in the preparation of DL-threo-2-pentulose and DL-lyxo-3-hexulose, which were isolated as their O-isopropylidene derivatives.A possible reason for the observe preference of formation of the lyxo-diastereomer in condensation between glycolaldehyde and glycero-tetrulose is suggested.
