Four novel, chiral nonracemic carbasugars have been synthesized from 1,2-O-isopropylidene-D-glyceraldehyde. Furan- and pyrrole-based 2-silyloxy dienesmimics of the α,γ-dianions of γ-hydroxy- and γ-aminobutanoic acid, respectivelynicely served to complete the syntheses of two all-oxygen compounds, pseudo-β-D-gulopyranose and pseudo-β-D-xylofuranose, and two 'anomeric' amino derivatives, (pseudo-β-D-gulopyranosyl)amine (1,2,4-tri-epi-validamine) and (pseudo-β-D-xylofuranosyl)amine. Two sequential, highly diastereoselective carboncarbon bond-forming maneuvers, i.e., a vinylogous crossed aldol addition and an intramolecular aldolization, proved central to these constructions. The fact that readily available heterocyclic diene scaffolds can be employed in the assembly of a varied repertoire of carbasugars and analogues widens the prospects of dienoxy silane chemistry.
