Abstract
Abstract Syntheses of 1,5-anhydro-2,4-di- O -benzyl- D -glucitol and 2,4-di- O -acetyl-1,5-anhydro- D -glucitol are outlined. Some approaches to the synthesis of 1,5-anhydro-2,4- O -benzylidene- D -glucitol, which led to the alternative formation of the corresponding 1,3-anhydrohexitol, are discussed. Relevant properties of the parent 1,3-anhydro- D -glucitol and its derivatives are described, as is the evidence in favour of this novel structural formulation.
