Efficient synthesis of 3-deoxy-D-arabino-2-heptulosonate (DAH) and -D-gluco-2-heptulosonate by a two-carbon chain elongation of D-arabinose

Reaction of α-lithiated methyl glyoxylate diethyl mercaptal (3) with 2,3,5-tri-O-benzyl-D-arabinose (2) stereoselectively afforded the D-gluco-2-heptulosonate derivative 4. Mercaptal cleavage led to the corresponding pyranose 5a which could be directly transformed into unprotected D-gluco-2-heptulosonic acid (1a), one of the target molecules. Deoxygenation of 5a at C-3 could also be readily accomplished as its 3-hydroxy group is unprotected. Thus, the second target molecule, 1b, was obtained in just a few steps.
