Abstract

The preparation of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-5-D-xylo-hex-5-ulosonamides 3a and 3b and their cyclization to 5-amino-2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-5-deoxy-D-glucono-1,5-lactam (4) and 5-amino- 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-5-deoxy-D-talono-1,5-lactam (5) or to 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-1,5-dideoxy-1,5-imino-D-glucitol (9), and also their direct transformation into 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl- D-talono-1,5-lactone (6), are described and discussed. The atypical boat conformation of D-talonolactam 5 and D-talonolactone 6 was found.
