✦ Synopsis


Treatment of methyl 3,5-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-a,8-r>-erythro-pentofuranoside with a-toluenethiol and cont. hydrochloric acid gave 3,5-di-0-benzyl-2-deoxy-D-erythro-pentose dibenzyl dithioacetal (21). Mesylation of 21 and ring closure gave benzyl 3,S-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-l,4-dithio-a,P-L-threo-pentofuranoside. Inversion of configuration at C-4 of 21 was achieved by the Mitsunobu reaction, to produce 4-0-benzoyl-3,5-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-L-thr~~-pentose dibenzyl dithioacetal. Successive debenzoylation, mesylation, and ring closure then gave the title compound. Several new dithioacetal derivatives of 2-deoxyp-er_rthro-pentose were prepared in exploratory routes to the described thio sugar or as intermediates.

In our effort towards the preparation of squalene synthase inhibitor zaragozic acid A (squalestatin S l, 1) [1-3], we have employed ketone 2, a 1,6-anhydropyranose [4]. As our need for larger quantities of ketone 2 increased, we realized that we needed an improved synthesis of this compound. Althoug
