A complementary diastereofacial selectivity is achieved in the addition of 2-lithiothiazole 1b to precomplexed C-galactopyranosyl nitrone 5 with MgBr2- or ZnCl2 and Et2AlCl or TiCl4, giving rise after the thiazole-to-aldehyde unmasking, to the epimeric amino-dialdoses 9 and 15, advanced intermediates in syntheses of destomic acid and lincosamine respectively. A similar result is obtained by using 2-thiazolylmagnesium bromide 1c and 2-diethylaluminum)thiazole 1d in the presence of the above Lewis acids.
