Abstract

Bisacetonated aldehydo-d-arabinose has been converted by three consecutive reactions (Wittig reaction, catalytic hydrogenation, and hydrolysis) into 3,4-dideoxy-d-arabino-oct-2-ulosonic acid (4-deoxy-KDO), isolated as its calcium salt in an overall yield of 37% from d-arabinose. Likewise reactions of d-xylose gave calcium 3,4-dideoxy-d-xylo-oct-2-ulosonate in an overall yield of 34%.
