We report a bio-inspired, strain driven epimerization of trans-ketals to cis-ketals through an enolate intermediate. Swern oxidation of a hydroxyl group adjacent to a trans-ketal effects both oxidation and its epimerization to cis-ketal. This novel and general strategy allows inversion of up to three contiguous stereocenters and has been illustrated by the synthesis of several unnatural/rare isomers of carbohydrates/cyclitols from their naturally abundant isomers.

Two approaches for the conversion of D-glucose to (-)-neplanocin A (2), both based on the zirconocene-promoted ring contraction of a vinyl-substituted pyranoside, are herein evaluated (Scheme 1). In the first pathway (Scheme 1), the substrate possesses th
