A double regioselective deprotection of symmetrical tethered isopropylidenated monosaccharides has been elaborated. This mild and simple methodology involving iodine and acetonitrile, allows breaking of dioxolane and dioxane moieties and affords new chiral structures in good yields. Spectroscopic characterization of these molecules includes FTIR, ESI-MS, 1 H and 13 C NMR, and also 2D-COSY, HMQC and HMBC measurements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
