    5-thio-D-xylopyranose, a synthon used for the preparation of drugs with antithrombotic activity, was synthesised by an enzymatic isomerisation from the corresponding ketose, 5-thio-D-xylulofuranose, with glucose isomerase. This compound was obtained by two different chemoenzymatic routes, the key step being the stereospecific formation of a C-C bond, catalysed by transketolase or fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolas

    We report a new two-step procedure that uses inexpensive rac-glycidol to obtain valuable dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP), a building block for the synthesis of monosaccharide analogues
