title: Intramolecular direct aldol reactions of sugar 2,7-diketones: syntheses of hydroxylated cycloalka(e)nones.
abstract: A regio- and stereoselective intramolecular direct aldol reaction of 2,7-diketones derived from carbohydrates has been developed to construct cycloalkanones , which were dehydrated to obtain heavily oxygenated cycloalkenones .
