General description
α-Hydroxy-γ-butyrolactone is a 5-membered cyclic ester. It was obtained via tin-conversion of biomass-derived 1,3-dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and formaldehyde.
Application
α-Hydroxy-γ-butyrolactone may be employed as starting reagent in the synthesis of series of seco-pseudonucleoside synthons via aminolysis. It may be employed as starting reagent in the synthesis of enantiomerically pure orthogonally protected δ-azaproline, via Mitsunobu reaction.

[reaction: see text] Two series of seco-pseudonucleoside synthons were synthesized from (R)-(+)-alpha-hydroxy-gamma-butyrolactone and (R)-(-)-pantolactone by aminolysis, side-chain protection, dimethoxytritylation, and phosphitylation or solid-phase attachment. The phosphoramidites and solid supports were used in automated DNA synthesis to prepare oligonucleotides modified with
