Abstract
Abstract Stereoselective preparations of protected rare sugars and derivatives, namely l-psicose, l-altritol, and l-talose have been achieved in 70, 44, and 18% yield, respectively, from an orthogonally protected l-glyceraldehyde derivative. The key step is the stereoselective proline-catalyzed aldol reaction of this aldehyde with dioxanone.
