Abstract: Ozonolysis, peroxomolybdate oxidation, and the treatment with sulfuric acid as three relatively simple methods of the conversion of 1-deoxyalditol-1-nitronates to the corresponding aldoses were mutually compared. The yields and complexity of the methods applied to the synthesis of D-glycero-D-galacto-heptose and D-glycero-D-talo-heptose from D-mannose are presented and discussed.
