Abstract
Abstract6-Deoxy-6-[(1S,2S,5R)-2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexylsulfanyl]-1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-α-d-galactopyranose was synthesized in 94% yield from 1,2 : 3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-α-d-galactopyranose and neomenthanethiol, and its oxidation gave the corresponding diastereoisomeric sulfoxides in up to 84% yield and de values of up to 52%. The isopropylidene protective groups were removed from the sulfide and sulfoxides by treatment with trifluoroacetic acid in chloroform.
