Abstract

Some phosphanyl sugar derivatives, which are analogs of sugars having a phosphorus atom in place of the ring oxygen, were synthesized from 2- and 3-phospholenes as starting materials. Catalytic cis-dihydroxylation of 2-phospholene or 3-phospholene 1-oxide derivatives with osmium(VIII) oxide in the presence of a cooxidant afforded 3-deoxy- or 1-deoxy-tetrofuranose-type phosphanyl sugar derivatives, respectively. cis- Dihydroxylation of 4-acyloxy-2-phospholene 1-oxide derivatives gave tetrofuranose type phosphanyl sugar derivatives. Some of these derivatives of phosphanyl sugars were subjected to structural analyses using 1H NMR and X-ray crystallography. 1.
