Metathesis-Based de Novo Synthesis of Noviose

The rare carbohydrate L-(+)-noviose was synthesized from enantiomerically pure L-lactate. The configuration at C-4 was established by diastereoselective nucleophilic addition to an in-situ-generated lactaldehyde. The resulting homoallylic alcohol was further transformed into a set of ring-closing metathesis (RCM) precursors. These compounds were converted into noviose in few steps using RCM and RCM-allylic-oxidation sequences.

S-Ethyl lactate was converted into an enantiomerically pure tertiary homoallylic alcohol, which was then transformed into noviose using olefin metathesis reactions. Copyright
