Abstract

2,4‐O‐Benzylidene‐D‐threose (1) was treated with the Grignard reagent obtained from n‐octyl bromide to afford the epimeric tetrol derivatives 3a, b. Regioselective 2‐O‐mesylation and subsequent azido group introduction furnished azidophytosphingosine derivatives 5a, b. Ensuing 4‐O‐mesylation, acidcatalyzed benzylidene group removal and then treatment with NaH as a base provided preferentially the desired 3,4‐epoxide derivatives 8a, b; subsequent azido group reduction with triphenylphosphane/water yielded the target molecules 9a, b possessing D‐ribo and L‐lyxo configuration, respectively.

During 'H-NMR and gas chromatographichnass spectrometric analytical investigations of the enone epoxides 2a-5, which are of interest as tautomers of dienol epoxides implicated in the biosynthesis of catecholestrogens, silylation reactions were observed to yield a derivative 21 of one of the putative
