Notes:
The pseudolactones 6 and 12 were prepared in a straightforward way from methyl α-D-glucopyranoside and methyl α-D-mannopyranoside, respectively. The pseudolactone 6 reacted with tert-butyl lithioacetate to give the protected, trihydroxylated cyclohexenone carboxylate 7 (51 %). The sterically hindered, L-ribo-configurated pseudolactone 12 reacted with diethyl ethylphosphonate and dimethyl methylphosphonate to give the protected trihydroxycyclohexenones 17 (49 %) and 18 (62 %), respectively. The hydroxymethylated cyclohexenone 21 was obtained from 18 by treatment with Me2AlSPh and then formaldehyde, oxidation of the product 19, and elimination. Deprotection of 21 gave 2, identical with KD16-Ul. Esterification of 2 gave 1, identical with the title compound. Alternatively, 1 was obtained in higher yields by esterification of 21, followed by deprotection of the hydroxy groups. This synthesis gave 1 and 2 from methyl α-D-mannopyranoside in an overall yield of 18 and 20 %, respectively, confirming their absolute configuration.
