✦ Synopsis


Carbohydrates are important as ehiral sources in modern organic syntheses'! However, the choice of a carbohydrate for the starting material of a synthesis remains as a significant problem in view of efficiency and economy.

(-)-Biopterin (1) is one of the potent natural pterins isolated from human urine as the growth factor of Critlzidia fasciculata by Patterson ct al.''. It attracted much attention as the precursor of (6R)-tetrahydrobiopterin which was known as a coenzyme of aromatic amino acid monooxygenase '1.

## Abstract A simple synthesis of 5‐deoxy‐L‐[5‐^2^H~1~]arabinose was performed to obtain L‐[3′‐^2^H~1~]biopterin. The reduced form of this model substance is needed to investigate the pathway of 7‐substituted pterins in patients with primapterinuria.

Reaction of 3 with (cyanomethylene)triphenylphosphorane in 8,9,10-trihydroxy-1-aza-6-oxaspiro[4.5]decane, which was identified as its peracylated derivative 16, was isolated. refluxing dichloromethane or methanol gave mixtures of 4a and 4b in ratios of about 3:1 and 1:3, respectively. The same Follo
