Application
L-(+)-Gulose, a rare aldohexose sugar C-3 epimer of galactose, is used in the development of various drugs and to glycosylate alginates. L-(+)-Gulose is a substrate of GDP-mannose 3′,5′-epimerase in plants and may be a precursor of L-ascorbic acid in plants.

An efficient and stereoselective synthesis of D,L-gulose was described. The key step of the synthetic route is represented by a multicomponent enyne cross metathesis-hetero Diels-Alder reaction which allows the formation of the pyran ring from cheap and commercially available substrates

The glycosylation properties of gulopyranosides have been mapped out, and it is shown that gulose has an intrinsic preference for the formation of 1,2-cis-glycosidic bonds. It is postulated that this glycosylation behaviour originates from nucleophilic attack at the oxacarbenium ion

Stereoselective vinylogous Mannich reaction of 2-trimethylsilyloxyfuran with L-gulose-derived chiral nitrones in the presence of a catalytic amount of trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate was investigated. The selectivity was strongly influenced by the bulkiness of the C-substituent of the nitrone: for example, C-benzyloxymethyl nitrone

Ketogulonicigenium vulgare DSM 4025, known as a 2-keto-L-gulonic acid producing strain from L-sorbose via L-sorbosone, surprisingly produced L-ascorbic acid from D-sorbitol, L-sorbose, L-gulose, and L-sorbosone as the substrate under a growing or resting condition. As the best result, K. vulgare

Displacement of the tosyloxy group in 5-O-benzyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-4-O-(p-toluenesulfonyl)-alpha-D-glucoseptanose has yielded derivatives of 1,2-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-galactoseptanose. Acid catalysed acetonation then gave 1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-galactoseptanose or 1,2;4,5-di-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-galactoseptanose using lower acid concentrations. Reduction of the ketone derived from 1,2:3,4-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-septanose gave 1,2;3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-beta-L-altroseptanose. Reaction of 3,4-anhydro-5-O-benzyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-galactoseptanose with sodium methoxide gave
