Carbohydrates are expected to replace petroleum and to become the base of industrial chem. Chirality is one particular area in which carbohydrates have a special potential advantage over petroleum resources. Herein, we report a catalytic approach for the direct production of D-tetroses [i.e., D-(-)-erythrose and D-(+)-erythrulose] from D-hexoses through a fast retro-aldol process at 190° that achieves a yield of 46 % and completely retains the chiral centers in the final chiral synthon. The D-tetrose products were further converted into their derivatives, thereby accomplishing transfer of chirality from natural chiral hexoses to high-value-added chiral chems. Our results also suggest that the product distribution for the conversion of D-hexoses was determined by their isomerization and epimerization trends that competed with their corresponding retro-aldol condensation processes.
