A facile synthesis of 3R,5R‐dihydroxy‐ L ‐homoproline as idulonic acid mimic, of which the carboxyl and 3‐hydroxyl groups were protected, was attained using L ‐threonine aldolase‐catalyzed reaction. Idulonic acid is a key acidic sugar of the b‐FGF binding domain in heparin and heparan sulfate. Moreover, the synthetic precursor of N ‐acetyl‐4‐deoxy‐ D ‐mannosamine, which is a potent inhibitor of NeuAc synthase, was prepared from the side product of the enzymatic aldol condensation.
