Abstract
The synthesis of DL-glyceraldehyde (III) by the Barton’s oxidation of DL-isopropylideneglycerol (I) was described. 2-Deoxy-DL-erythro-pentose (IX) (2-deoxy-DL-ribose) has been synthesized by the Barton’s oxidation of 2-deoxy-3,4-O-isopropylidene-5-O-(tetrahydro-2-pyranyl)-DL-erythro-pentitol (VIII) and by the hydroboration of DL-erythro-4-pentyn-1,2,3-triol (XI) followed by hydrogen peroxide oxidation. The latter method gave crystalline 2-deoxy-DL-erythro-pentose (IX) in a reasonable yield.
