Carbon-branched carbohydrate chirons: practical access to both enantiomers of 2-C-methyl-ribono-1,4-lactone and 2-C-methyl-arabinonolactone

Readily crystallized 2-C-methyl-d-ribono-1,4-lactone is formed in a one-pot procedure from d-glucose without any protecting groups by treatment with dimethylamine to give an Amadori ketose and then with aqueous calcium hydroxide in yields of approximately 25%; 2-C-methyl-l-ribono-1,4-lactone is simi...
