Base Catalyzed Isomerization of Epoxides to Bicyclic Allylic Alcohols, Potential Intermediates for the Total Synthesis of the DL-Aldohexoses
Treatment of the epoxide 2-deoxy-1,6:3,4-dianhydro-β-DL-ribo-hexopyranose (3) with n-butyllithium, and the epoxides 2-deoxy-1,6:3,4-dianhydro-β-DL-lyxo-hexopyranose (5) and 4-deoxy-1, 6:2,3-dianhydro-β-DL-lyxo-hexopyranose (7) with lithium diethylamide has provided 1,6-anhydro-2,3-dideoxy-β-DL-erythro-hex-2-enopyranose (4), 1,6-anhydro-2,3-dideoxy-β-DL-threo-hex-2-enopyranose (6), and 1,6-anhydro-3,4-dideoxy-β-DL-threo-hex-3-enopyranose (8) in yields of 65, 50, and 20%, respectively. These allylic alcohols are potential intermediates for the synthesis of the various DL-aldohexoses.
