Avr. Rao et al., CHIRAL POLYHYDROXYLATED TETRAHYDROTHIOPHENE DERIVATIVES - NOVEL SYNTHESIS AND STRUCTURAL ELUCIDATION BY X-RAY CRYSTALLOGRAPHY, NMR-SPECTROSCOPY AND MOLECULAR MECHANICS CALCULATIONS, Journal of the Chemical Society. Perkin transactions. I, (11), 1993, pp. 1255-1259
The dideoxygenation reaction of -alkylidene-2,5-di-S-methylthiocarbony
l-D-mannitol derivatives under Barton-McCombie reaction conditions gav
e the hexahydrodipyranothiophenes 4 and 7 instead of the expected 2,5-
dideoxy products. Structural and conformational information on these n
ovel derivatives has been obtained by NMR spectroscopy, single-crystal
X-ray crystallography and molecular mechanics calculations.
