An efficient synthetic route of L-hamamelose was successfully accomplished starting from D-ribose. L-Hamamelose was synthesized in 42% overall yield with six reaction steps via a stereoselective Grignard reaction, a stereoselective crossed aldol reaction and a controlled oxidative cleavage of the double bond of a vinyl diol compound. During the oxidative cleavage of the double bond of the vinyl diol compound with osmium tetroxide and NaIO(4), an over-oxidative cleavage of alpha-hydroxyl aldehyde generated from ring opening of the first cleaved product, formyl lactol, did not occur, probably due to the stability of the lactol form. A plausible mechanism for the stereoselective crossed aldol reaction was suggested. The final target compound, L-hamamelose can play a very important role as a chiral building block in synthesizing a wide variety of enantiopure compounds.
