Photobromination of 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-1,6-anhydro-β-D-glucopyranose
gives the syrupy 6S (exo) bromide in high yield; further reaction leads to
secondary bromination at this position. The monobromide reacts with methanol
and thiophenol under conditions of kinetic control to give mainly the
endo-methoxy and -phenylthio derivatives formed by direct nucleophilic
displacement, and from the latter the exo-methoxy acetal was obtained by a
second nucleophilic substitution. Acetolysis of these
compounds can lead to the corresponding exo-6-acetoxy ester or monocyclic
products formed by opening of the five-membered rings.
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.
