(R)-2-Tosyloxypropanal (4) was prepared from D-mannitol in a 7-step sequence (51% overall yield). Addition of dialkyl phosphonates to 4 in the presence of titanium isopropoxide and the subsequent treatment with DBU stereoselectively afforded, in one-pot, fosfomycin dimethyl (5a) and dibenzyl (5b) esters both in 58% isolated yield.
Asymmetric catalysis based on chiral phospholanes and hydroxyl phospholanes

Page column 15, (2010/02/06)
Chiral phosphine ligands derived from chiral natural products including D-mannitol and tartaric acid. The ligands contain one or more 5-membered phospholane rings with multiple chiral centers, and provide high stereoselectivity in asymmetric reactions.
Synthesis of C2-symmetric guanidino-sugars as potent inhibitors of glycosidases

A series of enantiomerically pure C2-Symmetric guanidino-sugars was synthesized from D-mannitol. The first method described involves direct opening of a bis-epoxide by guanidine, whereas the second one deals with a mercury-catalyzed transformation of a cyclic thiourea into a N,N',N'- trisubstituted guanidine as a key step. The biological activity of these compounds towards several glycosidases has been evaluated. One of them (5) was found to selectively inhibit α-L-fucosidase of bovin kidney (2.8 μM).
