Abstract

(Matrix presented). A diastereoisomeric mixture of 1-nitro-6-heptene-2,3,4, 5-tetraol derivative (A) was prepared by Henry reaction between D-glucose-based aldehyde and nitromethane. Only the (2S)-isomer of A led to cyclitol (B) via nitronate-olefin cycloaddition on treatment with TMS-CI and Et3N in the presence of catalytic DMAP followed by acid treatment. (+)-Cyclophellitol (1) was synthesized from B in eight steps.
