We have prepared glycosyl type phosphonates via hetero Diels-Alder (HDA) reactions of acyl phosphonates with electron rich dienes. HDA reactions of acyl phosphonates with Danishefsky's diene required thermal activation to yield the desired dihydropyranones in good yield (70-91%). The reactions with Brassard's diene involved Lewis acid promotion to yield the corresponding lactones, though in moderate yield (33-69%). (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
