  • Title: From D-xylose to terminal polyols: a simple synthetic route.
    Author: Hadzic P, Popsavin M.
    Journal: Carbohydr Res; 2010 Feb 26; 345(4):543-6. PubMed ID: 20044080.
    Abstract:
    A simple and efficient synthetic approach toward different terminal alkyl tetraols and triols, starting from D-xylose, is described. The opening of the oxetane ring in a suitably protected 3,5-anhydro-D-xylose derivative with Grignard reagents leads to D-xylose-derived 5-deoxy-5-C-alkyl derivatives, which are suitable for reduction to terminal polyols after protecting group hydrolysis.
