Syntheses of optically active thietanose, (2R,3R,4R)-4-acetoxymethyl-3-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy-2-ethoxythietane (6) and (2R,3R,4R)-3-(tertbutyldimethylsilyl)oxy-4-[(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy]methyl-2-ethoxythietane (23) are described. The key intermediate, (2S,3S)-4,4-bis(ethoxy)-3-(tertbutyldimethylsilyl)oxy-1,2-epithiobutane (7) has been derived from (Z)-2-butene-1,4-diol in 13 steps. Although direct transformation of 7 to thietanose (6) failed, regio and stereospecific ring opening of the episulfide ring in 7 and acid catalyzed cyclization of the resulting 3-mercaptobutanal diethyl acetal (20) was successful in forming of a thietane ring to give 6. The structure of 6 and 23 was confirmed by spectroscopic analyses including NOE experiments.
