A stereoselective method to L-2-deoxypentose or L-2-deoxy-pentono-1,4-lactone units was developed employing the (S)-Hydroxynitrile lyase from Hevea brasiliensis. Additionally a diastereoselective reduction using either (D)- or (L)-tartaric acid in conjuction with sodium borohydride had been applied to control the ultimate stereochemistry of the bioactive compounds.
