The substituted glycol aldehyde 4 which bears an enantiomerically pure acetal-type protective group exhibiting the configuration of an α-L-sugar at the acetal centre is subjected to aldolization under basic conditions.The resulting products are reduced and characterized by comparison with reference compounds of known absolute configuration.L-Sugars are formed preferentially with L-erythrose being the main product.
