    Abstract

    Using the cis-fused cyclopentane-1,4-lactone, 1(R),5(S)-7(R),8(R)-dihydroxy-2-oxabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-3-one (1), as starting material, 5-deoxycarba-*-L-xylo-hexofuranose (6) together with ?- (12) and ?-1-amino-1,5-dideoxycarba-L-xylo-hexofuranose (16) have been prepared using a number of stereoselective transformations. The key step was the regioselective opening of the epoxide 1(R),5(S)-7(R),8(R)-epoxy-2-oxabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-3-one (4) with different nucleophiles.
