Abstract

An aldol reaction between the divalent tin enol ether of racemic N-Boc α-aminodienone-tricarbonyliron complex and multiprotected d-glyceraldehyde provided predominantly two enantiomerically pure ketol diastereoisomers. From there, multiprotected kanosamine and 3-amino-3-deoxy-d-altrose were obtained in a few high-yielding steps, namely stereoselective reduction, protection, decomplexation, and ozonolysis.
