title: A carbohydrate-based approach for the total synthesis of 1,3-polyol/alpha-pyrone antifungal natural products.
abstract: [Chemical reaction: see text] An elimination and stereoselective hydrogenation of alpha-D-glucoheptonic-gamma-lactone derivative has been applied to prepare a differentially protected anti,anti-1,3,5-triol system, the utility of which has been extended for the total synthesis of anti-fungal 1,3-polyol/alpha-pyrone natural products.
