Facile Synthesis of (2S,3R,4R)-2-Hydroxymethyl-3,4-pyrrolidinediol and 4-Acetamido-1,2,3-tri-O-acetyl-4-deoxy-l-xylopyranose from the Photoproduct of d-Mannose

Abstract
(Synthesis of 2S,3R,4R)-2-hydroxymethyl-3,4-pyrrolidinediol and 4-acetamido-1,2,3-tri-O-acetyl-4-deoxy-l-xylopyranose were attained in four steps from d-mannose, using iron(III)-catalyzed photoreaction as a key reaction.
