3-O-Benzyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-glucofuranose-5,6-O-sulfate (1) was treated with sodium salt of dimethyl malonate to obtain, after hydrolysis, methyl 5-(3-O-benzyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-erythrofuranos-4-yl)-2-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-carboxylate (3) which was converted to the mixture of methyl (2S,3R,4R)- (7) and (2R,3R,4R)-2-(acetyloxy)-3-(benzyloxy)-4-(formyloxy)-7-oxo-6-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-1-carboxylate (8). The compound 7 was reduced with lithium aluminium hydride to give (1R,2R,3R,4S)-3-(benzyloxy)-5,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)cyclohexane-1,2,4-triol (9) which was transformed to (1R,2S,4R)-5,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)cyclohexane-1,2,4-triol (14). Treatment of sodium salt of diethyl malonate with 3-O-benzyl-5,6-dideoxy-6-iodo-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-xylo-hexofuranose (19) gave diethyl (3-O-benzyl-5,6-dideoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-xylo-hexofuranos-6-yl)malonate (20) which was converted to (1R,3R)-4,4-bis(hydroxymethyl)cyclohexane-1,3-diol (28) by a similar procedure to that used for 14.
3-O-苄基-1,2-O-异丙基亚-D-葡萄糖呋喃糖-5,6-O-硫酸酯(1)经过与二甲基丙二酸钠盐反应,水解后得到甲基5-(3-O-苄基-1,2-O-异丙基亚-D-赤霉糖-4-基)-2-氧代四氢呋喃-3-羧酸甲酯(3),再转化为甲基(2S,3R,4R)-(7)和(2R,3R,4R)-2-(乙酰氧基)-3-(苄氧基)-4-(甲酰氧基)-7-氧代6-氧杂双环[3.2.1]辛烷-1-羧酸甲酯(8)的混合物。化合物7经过锂铝氢化还原得到(1R,2R,3R,4S)-3-(苄氧基)-5,5-双(羟甲基)环己烷-1,2,4-三醇(9),进而转化为(1R,2S,4R)-5,5-双(羟甲基)环己烷-1,2,4-三醇(14)。将3-O-苄基-5,6-二脱氧-6-碘-1,2-O-异丙基亚-D-木糖-呋喃糖(19)与二乙酸二乙酯钠盐反应,得到二乙酸(3-O-苄基-5,6-二脱氧-1,2-O-异丙基亚-D-木糖-呋喃糖-6-基)酯(20),再经类似于14的过程转化为(1R,3R)-4,4-双(羟甲基)环己烷-1,3-二醇(28)。
