Abstract
Treatment of methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-2,3-dideoxy-α-D-erythro-hex-2-enopyranoside with sodium cyanoborohydride/hydrogen chloride gives rise to a very convenient approach of 1,5-anhydro-6-O-benzyl-2,3-dideoxy-D-erythro-hex-2-enitol (2), envisaged to be a precursor for both α-D- and β-L-glycosyl compounds in the pentopyranosyl series. An X-ray analysis revealed 2 to be of space group P21 and to adopt an OH5-conformation.
