Abstract
Ease of separation of petrol-soluble acetonides derived from the triacetonide of methyl glucoheptonate allows scalable syntheses of rare sugars containing the l-gluco or d-gulo structural motif with any oxidation level at the C6 or C1 position of the hexose, usually without chromatography: meso-d-glycero-d-guloheptitol available in two steps is an ideal entry point for the study of the biotechnological production of heptoses.
