An enone was synthesized from delta-D-gluconolactone in four steps, involving a one-pot TPAP oxidation-K2CO3-mediated intramolecular Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) olefination as the key step. / In this thesis, a review regarding intramolecular direct aldol reaction from 1971 to 2008 is presented. The background information on pseudo-acarviosin, valiolamine and its containing compounds, gabosines and human glutathione transferase (hGST) is introduced. / Intramolecular direct aldol reaction was investigated for the construction of cyclohexanones and cycloheptanones from carbohydrates. Amine bases, amide bases and L-proline were employed to facilitate cyclization of 1,5- and 1,6-diketones successfully. These 1,5- and 1,6-diketones were prepared from carbohydrates by standard transformations. Different bases were employed to promote cyclization of 1,5-diketone derived from D-glucose to give cyclohexanones stereoselectively. / Intramolecular nitrile oxide-alkene cycloaddition (INOC) was studied with sugar derivatives having free hydroxyl groups. The INOC reaction, by incorporating chloramine-T and silica gel for the formation of nitrile oxide from oxime, proceeded smoothly with one, two, and four unmasked hydroxyl groups to give cyclopentanes and cyclohexanes. / The polyhydroxylated carbocycles constructed from sugars were successfully transformed into a variety of target molecules including pseudo-acarviosin, valiolamine and its containing compounds and gabosines. A series of 2-crotonyloxymethyl-(4 R,5R,6R)-4,5,6-trihydroxy-2-cyclohexenone (COTC) analogues as inhibitors of hGST were prepared in order to study the structure-activity relationships. / Cheng, Hau Man. / Adviser: Tony K.
