The synthesis of (−) and (+) nonactic acids (2a) and (2b) has been achieved starting from D-mannose (7) and D-gluono-γ-lactone (22) respectively. The key step in the synthesis is the [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of the silylated ketene-acetals IV leading to control of the C-2 configuration of nonactic acid. The ketene-acetals were prepared from aliphatic esters of furanoid-glycals II, which were prepared in ten steps from the carbohydrate precursor. The chiral sites of the glycals arise from the corresponding centres in the starting monosaccharide. This type of ketene-acetal Claisen rearrangement leads to products containing the aldol portion required. At the same time knowledge of the absolute configuration of the chiral carbon atom of nonactic acid allows for the determination of the chair or boat form of the transition state of the [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement.

Thermolysis of oxadiazolines (5) in benzene at 110 °C leads to ketene acetals (11) as minor products. Carbonyl ylide intermediates (6), and oxiranes (7), presumably in equilibrium with those ylides, are implicated as unstable precursors of the ketene acetals although none of the oxiranes (carbonyl protected α-lactones) were isolable and only one of the ketene acetals was isolable in pure form. The evidence points to the two-step sequence of thermolysis of oxadiazolines, namely, initial cycloreversion to N2 and carbonyl ylide (6), rather than concerted fragmentation to N2, acetone, and carbene (12). The first-formed ylide does fragment to carbene and acetone in a second step that competes with oxirane formation. A tentative mechanism for reaction of 7 with 12, to afford 11, is advanced. Keywords: carbonyl ylide, dioxy oxirane, ketene acetal, oxadiazoline.
