Although different protected d-glucuronals are used as precursors for the preparation of many compounds, standard procedures and large-scale syntheses are still not described in the literature. In the course of the development of different protected d-glucuronyl donors we developed several versatile methods that can be used for fast and reproducible preparation of large amounts of the key intermediates. d-Glucuronolactone was converted to methyl 3, ...
