“…In addition to glucochloraloses, preparations of other chloraloses (xylochloralose [3,4], arabinochloralose [3,[5][6][7], galactochloralose [3,8] and mannochloralose [3,9]) have been also reported using the same synthetic method. All of chloraloses [3][4][5][6][7][8][9] synthesized so far contain 1,2-O-trichloroethylidene group in furanose form. Unlike most acetals, 1,2-O-trichloroethylidene acetals are very stable protecting group under acidic media because of inductive effects of trichloromethyl group and also stable in mild basic conditions.…”
