Eine Neue Einfache Synthese von L-Vinelose

Abstract
Reduction of methyl 6-deoxy-2,3-0-isopropylidene-3-C-methyl-α-L-lyxo-hexopyranosid-4-ulose (2) with sodium tetrahydroborate or L-selectride produces exclusively the L-talo-configurated 4-hydroxy compound (3), which is transformed to methyl 6-deoxy-3,4-O-isopropylidene-3-C-methyl-α-L-talopyranoside (4). Methylation of the 2-hydroxy group and hydrolysis yields L-vinelose (6) .
