Acetonides of the eight carbon sugar lactones, D-erythro-L-talooctono-1, 4-lactone and D-erythro-L-galactooctono-1 4-lactone, readily derived from glucoheptonolactone, are easily accessible intermediates for the synthesis of sugar mimics with six adjacent stereogenic centres and eight contiguous carbon atoms bearing functional groups.
