62. Even though the approach to l -hexoses by MacMillans group was not extended to the whole series, a recent discussion on the total synthesis of carbohydrates by organocatalyzed aldol additions highlighted the opportunity to complete the series with this method, by appropriate choice of the reaction conditions.

78. In contrast to previous results reported on similar substrates (Harris, J. M.; Keränen, M. D.; Nguyen, H.; Young, V. G.; ODoherty, G. A. Carbohydr. Res. 2000, 328, 17-36) no traces of the corresponding gulose isomer was herein detected

80. 4); however, only C6 O -deacetylation occurred, even after prolonged reaction times.
81. Use of 1,6-anhydrosugars has been widely applied to the construction of rare sugars and oligosaccharides; see for example: Kulkarni, S. S.; Lee, J.-C.; Hung, S.-C. Curr. Org. Chem. 2004, 8, 475-509
82. Solvent substitution (acetone in place of THF) associated with a low temperature (0 °C) was necessary to partially deactivate the reagent, with the aim to prevent formation of 32. Stronger reduction conditions yielded 32 in high yield (see Experimental Section for details).
83. It should be mentioned that very prolonged times were required to complete ring opening of 29, as the C3 position was greatly hindered by both the C4 benzyl group and the C1-C6 bridge.
