ABSTRACT
Either 3-O-benzoyl- (2a) or 3-O-benzyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-beta-D-fructopyranose (2b) were regioselectively O-benzylated at C-4 to give 4a and 4b, respectively, which were transformed into 5-azido-3-O-benzoyl-4-O-benzyl- (6a) and 5-azido-3,4-di-O-benzyl-5-deoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-alpha-L-sorbopyranose (6b) by nucleophilic displacement of the corresponding 5-O-mesyl derivatives 5a and 5b by sodium azide in DMF, respectively. Compound 6b was also prepared from 4b in one step by the Mitsunobu methodology. Deacetonation of 6a and 6b gave the partially protected free azidouloses 8a and 8b, respectively, that were protected as their 1-O-TBDPS derivatives 9a and 9b. Hydrogenation of 9b over Raney nickel gave stereoselectively (2R,3R,4R,5S)-3,4-dibenzyloxy-2'-O-tert-butyldiphenylsilyl-2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidine (12) which was identified by transformation into the well known (2R,3R,4R,5S)-3,4-dihydroxy-2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidine (1, DGDP).

ABSTRACT
The synthesis of the title compound13 has been carried out through the preparation of its precursor, (3R,4R,5S,6R)-3,4,5-trihydroxy-1,7-dioxaspiro[5.5]undecane (6), obtained fromD-fructose using Wittig's methodology, reduction, and spiroketalation. Compound6 was transformed into13 by a Barton deoxygenation at C-5 followed by a Corey dideoxygenation at C-3,4 of the appropriately protected derivatives.
