Novel sugar phosphorus ylides: Their synthesis, structure and reactivity. Synthesis of a series of sugar-derived phosphorus ylides from protected sugar derivatives and beta-oxo ylides as a route to novel alkynes and trioxo compounds.

Higher carbon chain sugars have gained increased interest recently; they are important building blocks of natural and unnatural products with biological properties. The synthesis of these higher sugar skeletons is commonly known to be achieved with the Wittig methodology which exploits phosphorus yl...
