The synthesis of the enantiomers of 6-epicastanospermine and of 1,6-diepicastanospermine from the enantiomeric gulonolactones is reported and the structure of the former is established as (1S,6R,7R,8R,8aR)-1,6,7,8-tetrahydroxyoctahydroindolizine. The inhibitory activities of the diastereomers against the amyloglucosidase-catalysed hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside were
[reaction: see text] A new synthesis of L-noviose (11), a sugar moiety of novobiocin, is presented. D-Gulonolactone was initially converted in a few steps to the key ester derivative 7 [1-O-benzyl methyl 2,3-O-(1-methylethylidene)-alpha-L-lyxofuranosiduronate]. An appropriate selection of protecting groups enabled

A convenient method to obtain unknown chiral C2- and C3-functionalized aldono-1,4-lactone derivatives starting from l-ascorbic acid, which would be valuable in the synthesis of derivatives of various pharmacologically active agents for structure-activity studies, is described. The practicality of this approach
The reviewed studies addressed the possibility of using gene transfer for correction of L-ascorbic acid biosynthesis and carbohydrate utilization in rainbow trout. Analyses of enzymatic activities in the L-AAB pathway indicated that reasons for the lack of L-AA production can
