4-O-Benzyl-23-O-isopropylidene-L-threose: A useful building block for stereoselective synthesis of monosaccharides

4-O-Benzyl-23-O-isopropylidene-L-threose readily available from L-tartaric acid is a quite useful four-carbon building block for monosaccharide synthesis. The versatility can be reinforced by the coupled use of stereoselective addition reactions where the

THE STEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF L-TAGATOSE. AN APPLICATION OF Zn(II) MEDIATED HIGHLY STEREOSELECTIVE ADDITION OF 2-FURYLLITHIUM TO POLYOXYGENATED ALDEHYDE

In the presence of ZnBr2, the addition of 2-furyllithium to 4-O-benzyl-2,3-O-isopropylidene-L-threose proceeded in a highly stereoselective manner to afford the anti-adduct, which was further converted to L-tagatose.
