SYNTHESIS OF (2R,3S,4R)-3,4-DIHYDROXYPROLINE FROM D-RIBONOLACTONE - AN APPROACH TO THE SYNTHESIS OF POLYFUNCTIONALIZED D-AMINO ACIDS FROM SUGAR LACTONES - X-RAY MOLECULAR-STRUCTURES OF 2-AZIDO-3,4-O-(R)-BENZYLIDENE-2-DEOXY-D-RIBONO-1,5-LACTONE, 2-AZIDO-2-DEOXY-D-RIBONO-1,4-LACTONE, AND (2R,3S,3R)-3,4-DIHYDROXYPROLINET

A general approach to the synthesis of polyfunctionalised amino acids from sugar lactones, in which nucleophilic displacement by azide ion of O-trifluoromethanesulphonyl esters adjacent to the lactone carbonyl is the key step, is discussed and is exemplified by the synthesis of the D-amino acid (2R,...
