A new approach to D-xylo-hexos-5-ulose, a useful synthetic intermediate, is described, starting from methyl beta-D-galactopyranoside and involving as the key step an epoxidation/methanolysis of 3-O-protected methyl 2,6-di-O-benzyl-4-deoxy-alpha-L-threo-hex-4-enopyranosides, to produce bis-glycosides of the parent dicarbonylic sugar, which can be obtained free or selectively protected through hydrogenolytic and/or hydrolytic procedures. The diastereo- and regioselectivity of the epoxidation and solvolysis steps are investigated and tentatively interpreted, and new products characterized by NMR techniques, (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
