A flexible approach to the stereoselective synthesis of (5S)-5-C-methyl- and (5S)-5-C-ethyl-β-l-lyxo-hexofuranoses 15a, 22 starting from 1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-d-gulofuranose 3 as the source of chirality is described. The corresponding C-5 alkyl groups were introduced via a Wittig olefination followed by Pd/C-mediated hydrogenation of the conformationally restricted alkenes in a highly diastereoselective manner.
