C-2 Epimerization of aldonolactones promoted by magnesium iodide: a new way towards non-enzymatic epimerization

The first example of a non-enzymatic C-2 epimerization of aldonolactones is reported. The reaction of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-d-gluconolactone or 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-d-mannonolactone with MgI2 in EtOH afforded their respective C-2 epimer. Studies conducted in EtOD showing the incorporation of a deuterium atom only at the C-2 position of the epimerized product reveal an epimerization rather than a racemization reaction. A mechanism involving a chelation with a magnesium species is proposed to explain this C-2 inversion reaction.
Preparation and reactivity of some 3-deoxy-D-altronic acid derivatives

3-Amino-3-deoxy-2,4,5,6-tetra-O-methyl-D-altronic acid hydrochloride was the key intermediate in the preparation of poly[(2S,3R)-2-methoxy-3-(D-erythro-trimethoxypropyl)propanamide], a chiral nylon 3 analog. We now describe an alternative synthetic route
Synthesis of the papulacandin C-arylglucosyl spiroketal nucleus
Rosenblum, Stuart B.,Bihovsky, Ron
, p. 2746 - 2748 (2007/10/02)
The enantiomerically pure tricyclic C-arylglucosyl spiroketal nucleus of papulacandin has been synthesized by reaction of an appropriately protected gluconolactone 4 with a metalated derivative of 5-(hydroxymethyl)resorcinol (5). In model studies, alkylli
