THE SYNTHESIS OF D-glycero-D-manno-HEPTOSE

Abstract
The condensation of D-altrose with nitromethane in alkaline methanol gave the corresponding epimeric 1-deoxy-1-nitroheptitols from which 1-deoxy-1-nitro-D-glycero-D-manno-heptitol was obtained in 46% yield. The 1-deoxy-1-nitro-D-glycero-D-manno-heptitol was converted to D-glycero-D-manno-heptose in 61% yield.
