Application

L-(+)-Gulose, a rare aldohexose sugar C-3 epimer of galactose, is used in the development of various drugs and to glycosylate alginates. L-(+)-Gulose is a substrate of GDP-mannose 3′,5′-epimerase in plants and may be a precursor of L-ascorbic acid in plants.

An efficient and stereoselective synthesis of D,L-gulose was described. The key step of the synthetic route is represented by a multicomponent enyne cross metathesis-hetero Diels-Alder reaction which allows the formation of the pyran ring from cheap and commercially available substrates

The glycosylation properties of gulopyranosides have been mapped out, and it is shown that gulose has an intrinsic preference for the formation of 1,2-cis-glycosidic bonds. It is postulated that this glycosylation behaviour originates from nucleophilic attack at the oxacarbenium ion

Displacement of the tosyloxy group in 5-O-benzyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-4-O-(p-toluenesulfonyl)-alpha-D-glucoseptanose has yielded derivatives of 1,2-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-galactoseptanose. Acid catalysed acetonation then gave 1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-galactoseptanose or 1,2;4,5-di-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-galactoseptanose using lower acid concentrations. Reduction of the ketone derived from 1,2:3,4-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-septanose gave 1,2;3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-beta-L-altroseptanose. Reaction of 3,4-anhydro-5-O-benzyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-galactoseptanose with sodium methoxide gave
