Abstract

The base-catalyzed Michael addition of primary nitro compounds derived from sugars with 2 equiv of methyl vinyl ketone or acrolein was followed, in situ, by an asymmetric intramolecular aldol cyclization, thus yielding 2-acyl-4-glyco-4-nitrocyclohexanol derivatives with high diastereoselectivity.
