Abstract
A facile and general synthesis of rare L-sugar lactones from D-sugars by selectively inverting C-5 was developed. Selective 1-deacylation of sugar perpivaloates by hydroxylamine is described. More practically, β- D-glucose pentaacetate could be transformed to L- IDONO-1,4-lactones by this simple procedure.
