A ring-closing metathesis strategy to phosphonosugars

Org Lett. 2001 Oct 18;3(21):3285-8. doi: 10.1021/ol016491p.

Abstract

[reaction: see text]. Syntheses of cyclic phosphonate (phostone) analogues of carbohydrates containing a phosphorus atom at the anomeric position are described. The ring-closing metathesis reaction of mixed allylic phenyl esters of allylphosphonic acid 2 and 22 generates the six-membered allylic phosphonates 3 and 23 in excellent yields. Introduction of the polyhydroxy functionality in these cyclic phosphonates provides facile entry into an array of phostone sugar analogues.
