Starting from readily available (R)-glycidol, an efficient pathway to a strategically functionalized ezoaminuroic acid derivative of the antifungal ezomycins has been developed. A key transformation in the synthesis involves regio- and stereoselective conversion of the olefinic functionality of a 5,6-dihydropyran-2-one to the C-2, C-3 trans-1,2-amino alcohol moiety as present in ezoaminuroic acid.

The de novo synthesis of carbohydrates constitutes an important aspect of organic chemistry, and its application toward deoxy sugars is particularly noteworthy in targeting biologically active compounds. The enantioselective preparation of 4-deoxy-D-ribo-, 4-deoxy-D-lyxo-, and 4-deoxy-D-xylo-hexopyranosides, along with their uronate counterparts has been successfully accomplished using hetero-Diels-Alder reactions as the key step. Jacobsen chromium(III) catalyst and a titanium-binaphthol complex have been used to successfully catalyze diene and aldehyde cycloadditions, leading to optically active dihydropyran templates.
