title: Convenient approach to higher carbon sugars. First synthesis of the free C12-sugar: D-erythro-L-manno-D-manno-dodecose.
abstract: The model synthesis of a C12-aldose was initiated from the easily available dimethyl(benzyl 2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-alpha-D-manno-heptopyranos-6-ulos-7-yl)phosphonate and 2,3:4,5-di-O-isopropylidene-D-arabinose.
