Stereoselective synthesis of muco-quercitol, (+)-gala-quercitol and 5-amino-5-deoxy-d-vibo-quercitol from d-mannitol

Synthesis of muco-quercitol, (+)-gala-quercitol, and 5-amino-5-deoxy-d-vibo-quercitol is described from d-mannitol using ring closing metathesis and diastereoselective dihydroxylations as key steps.
