Application
L-(+)-Gulose, a rare aldohexose sugar C-3 epimer of galactose, is used in the development of various drugs and to glycosylate alginates. L-(+)-Gulose is a substrate of GDP-mannose 3′,5′-epimerase in plants and may be a precursor of L-ascorbic acid in plants.

An efficient and stereoselective synthesis of D,L-gulose was described. The key step of the synthetic route is represented by a multicomponent enyne cross metathesis-hetero Diels-Alder reaction which allows the formation of the pyran ring from cheap and commercially available substrates

The glycosylation properties of gulopyranosides have been mapped out, and it is shown that gulose has an intrinsic preference for the formation of 1,2-cis-glycosidic bonds. It is postulated that this glycosylation behaviour originates from nucleophilic attack at the oxacarbenium ion

A versatile synthesis of orthogonally protected derivatives of carba-α-D-glucosamine, carba-α-D-mannose, carba-α-D-mannuronic acid, carba-β-L-idosamine, and carba-β-L-gulose from methyl α-D-mannoside is described. Our synthetic strategy utilizes the palladium-promoted Ferrier carbocyclization and persistent butane-2,3-diacetal protection to produce a key chiral cyclohexanone intermediate, from

Self-assembled TiO(2) nanoparticulate materials with well-defined spherical morphologies were synthesized by using a biopolymer sodium alginate as a template under different synthesis conditions. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques were used to
