A convenient synthesis is described of 5-azido-5-deoxy-2,3-O-isopropylidene-L-rhamnofuranose from L-rhamnose in seven steps and 17% overall yield. A key feature of the synthesis is the selective oxidation of the secondary alcohol in 2,3-O-isopropylidene-L-rhamnofuranose in the presence of the hemiacetal to give the corresponding ketone in good yield using the Parikh-Doering reagent. 5-Azido-5-deoxy-2,3-O-isopropylidene-l-rhamnofuranose is then converted by a literature protocol to 1,5-dideoxy-1, ...[more]
