Synthesis of sugar-derived phostones by activation of γ-hydroxyphosphonic acids
Treatment of carbohydrate-derived γ-hydroxyphosphonic acids under usual acetylation conditions affords the corresponding phostones in good yield. The method could be used for the preparation of free phostones as well as α- and β-phosphonomethylarabinose.
