Abstract
Abstract 1,2- O -Isopropylidene-3,5- O -propylidene- α - d -glucofuranose ( 3 ) was synthesized by conversion of 3- O -allyl-1,2- O -isopropylidene- α - d -glucofuranose ( 1 ) into its 3- O -prop-1-enyl isomer ( 2 ), followed by rapid acid-catalysed intramolecular acetalation in an aprotic solvent. The diacetal 3 was used as the precursor of 6- O -alkyl and 6- O -glucidyl- d -glucose amphiphiles, which show thermotropic and lyotropic liquid-crystalline properties.
