(+)-D-fucosamine and (+)-N-methyl-D-fucosamine (the amino sugar moiety of neocarzinostatin) have been synthesized from known building blocks derived from natural amino acids. Direct and diastereoselective construction of the key intermediate 4 was accomplished by a syn-aldol type reaction between Sch?llkopf's bislactim ether 2 and the 1,3-dioxolane-4-carboxaldehyde 3. Reduction and monomethylation of a O'Donnell's Schiff base derived from the common amino ester 7 allows an optional access to the N-methyl derivative.
