Abstract

Improved synthesis of l-pyranosides utilizing diastereoselective hydroboration/oxidation of 5-enopyranosides was investigated. A unique phenomenon in the diastereoselectivity of the hydroboration was incidentally found. The method was successfully applied to the synthesis of l-iduronic acid.

Other reaction conditions (e.g., temperature, time, and solvent) were not changed.

Compound 2a was easily separated from 3a using chromatography on silica gel.
