A synthesis of carbocyclic sugars from carbohydrate-derived dialdehydes using organocatalysis has been developed. Sorbitol, mannitol, and galactitol were converted via 1,6-tritylation, perbenzylation or permethylation, detritylation, and Swern oxidation into 2,3,4,5-tetra-O-alkyl-dialdoses that were cyclized via the benzoin reaction promoted by a triazolium carbene. Manno- and galacto-configured dialdehydes gave predominantly single inosose stereoisomers in up to 75% yield if the mixture was acetylated prior to isolation while the gluco-dialdehyde afforded a mixture of three stereoisomers in 61% overall yield. The inososes were stereospecifically reduced using sodium borohydride and then deprotected to give allo- and epi-inositol in good yield that confirmed the structural and stereochemical assignments.
Synthesis of macrolide-saccharide hybrids by ring-closing metathesis of precursors derived from glycitols and benzoic acids

The benzomacrolactone structural motif is a privileged or evolutionarily selected scaffold that codes properties required for binding to proteins and novel analogues thereof may provide a source of new bioactive compounds. Saccharides are also privileged structures, with (amino)sugars, imino-sugars, and sugar amino acids being applied as scaffolds for the development of nonpeptidal peptidomimetics. The syntheses of novel polyhydroxylated oxamacrolides, structural analogues of natural polyketide derived macrolides, are described herein, providing a basis for their development as scaffolds. The syntheses were carried out from benzoic acids and appropriately protected D-mannitol or D-sorbitol (D-glucitol). Ring-closing metathesis was applied in the macrocyclization step with high E-alkene selectivities being observed. X-ray crystal structures, for two polyhydroxylated derivatives, show that the macrocyclic rings display similar conformations. In addition, intermolecular hydrogen-bonding networks are observed in the lattices.
A straightforward synthesis of perbenzylated conduritols from alditols by ring closing olefin metathesis
Gallos, John K.,Koftis, Theocharis V.,Sarli, Vassiliki C.,Litinas, Konstantinos E.
, p. 3075 - 3077 (2007/10/03)
The synthesis of perbenzylated conduritols A, E and F has been achieved in six steps by formal conversion of galactitol, D-mannitol and D-glucitol into the respective terminal dienes, followed by ring closing olefin metathesis. The Royal Society of Chemistry 1999.
