Abstract

In connection with studies on the synthesis of complex cell wall glycans, we have developed effective syntheses of the novel branched sugar aceric acid and its C-2 epimer. Control of asymmetry in the installation of the key tertiary centers was effected by either asymmetric dihydroxylation of an appropriate alkene derivative or by thiazole addition to the corresponding ketone.
