Abstract
| - 4-Deoxy-l-hexoses were synthesized starting from our previously reported reagent 1 and (R)-benzylglycidyl ether, which led in few steps to a substituted dihydropyran 6. The stereocontrolledhydroxylation of the latter afforded the corresponding 4-deoxy-l-hexoses 7a, 9, and 11. The sameprocedure, starting from (S)-benzyl glycidyl ether, enabled the preparation of their d-seriesenantiomers.
