The dimethyl esters of the 2,6-anhydro-3-deoxy-hept-2-enaric acids with D-xylo, D-lyxo, L-arabino, L-lyxo- and D-ribo-configuration were synthesized from D-galactose and D-mannose, respectively, and further characterized by their di-O-acetyl and di-O-benzoyl derivatives. Comparison of their physical data with those of Daucus carota derived products revealed (-)-daucic acid to have D-lyxo-configuration 46 rather than the previously assigned D-xylo stereochemistry 1. Dimethyl daucate 43 could be converted by acid-induced ring contraction and dehydration into naturally occurring (+)-osbeckic acid 47, thereby proving its (S)-configuration. Configurational identity in the pyranoid rings of (-)-daucic acid and KDO, together with available biosynthetic evidence on chelidonic acid 4, a leaf closing factor, suggests a joint, KDO 8-P-based pathway for their biosynthesis in plants.
