ABSTRACT
The chiron approach represents a useful methodology in the synthesis of optically pure complex derivatives.1 Synthesis of such targets with numerous hydroxyl groups can be conveniently carried out from sugar chirons. These starting materials are also used for the preparation of compounds possessing wide therapeutic applications such as iminosugars (e.g., nojirimycin).2 Carbohydrate chirons may be also applied
