Enantiospecific Synthesis of Polyoxamic Acid from L-Arabinose

Abstract
An enantiospecific synthesis of polyoxamic acid, 2-amino-2-deoxy-L-xylonic acid, by phenylthiolate opening of a five-carbon chiral hydroxylated aziridine easily derived from L-arabinose is reported. The formation of the carboxyl group resulted from a Pummerer reaction.
