Unsaturated carbohydrate synthon

From Chiral Non-carbohydrates - A section on amino-sugars has been included in a review of the synthesis of monosaccharides from non-carbohydrate sources. L-Ristosamine 42 was synthesized by addition of the Cs-synthon 40 (which contains a masked aldehyde function that can be readily demasked by mild acid hydrolysis) to the L-lactaldehyde derivative 41 (Scheme 11). The TBSOP adduct 43 (Vol.27, p.ll4), derived from 2,3-< -isopropylidene-D-glycer-aldehyde, has been converted into 3-amino-3-deoxy-D-altrose 46 by a route involving cis-hydroxylation of its unsaturated lactam moiety and periodate cleavage between C-6 and C-7 of the derived heptitol derivative 45 as key steps (Scheme 12). 3-Amino-3-deoxy-L-allose was obtained by converting 43 to its C-3...
