Grignard reaction of 2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-D-xylopyranose yielded a single product with very high stereoselectivity.A threo relationship of the newly created chiral center with respect to C2 was established by converting the product into the δ-lactone of D-ido configuration, then to the unsaturated lactone of threo configuration.The result made possible a stereoselective synthesis of 6-deoxy-D-idose from D-xylose in a small number of steps.Models accounting for the high stereoselectivity in the Grignard reaction of aldoses are discussed.Keywords - Grignard reaction; stereoselectivity; configuration of unsaturated lactones; 2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-D-xylose; 1-deoxy-D-sorbose; 6-deoxy-D-iono-1,5-lactone; 6-deoxy-D-idose; stereocontrol models
