6-Azido-6-deoxy-D-galactitol and D-mannitol were obtained quantitatively via the reduction of the corresponding 6-azido-6deoxy-D-hexono-1,4-lactones, and 6-azido-6-deoxy-D-glucitol was obtained by the reduction of 6-azido-6-deoxyglucose in good yields. The reduction of monoazidodeoxyhexitols by catalytic hydrogenation gave the monoaminohexitol analogues in 95-98% yields. Oxidation of these afforded the corresponding 6-amino-6-deoxy-D-aldonic acids in moderate yields. Alternatively, saponification of 6-azido-6-deoxy-D-hexonolactones gave 6-azido-6-deoxyaldonic acid salts which, after reduction followed by neutralization, led to the expected compounds in 82-88% overall yields.
