An indirect strategy was needed for the first synthesis of a labile dNDP‐3‐keto sugar, the title compound 2 . D ‐Glucose is converted into methylene phosphate 1 , which after ozonolysis and linkage of thymidine monophosphate, provides 2 . According to present knowledge the target compound is an important intermediate in the biosynthesis of dideoxy, trideoxy, aminodeoxy, and branched sugars.
