title: Synthesis of a protected 3,4-dihydroxyproline from a pentose sugar.
abstract: [reaction: see text] D-Ribonolactone (6) was transformed into N-((fluorenylmethoxy)carbonyl)-3,4-bis-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-D-2,3-cis-3,4-cis-3,4-dihydroxyproline (13) in nine chemical steps. This represents a potentially general strategy for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydroxyprolines, utilizing the pentose sugar series as starting materials.
