The enantioselective synthesis of various C-6 substituted hexoses has been achieved in 4 steps. The succinct route relies on the highly enantioselective Noyori reduction, Achmatowicz reaction (an oxidative rearrangement of furfuryl alcohols to pyranones) and subsequent diastereoselective oxidation and reduction reactions.
