Pj. Edwards et al., DISPIROKETALS IN SYNTHESIS .17. REGIOSELECTIVE PROTECTION OF D-GLUCOPYRANOSIDE, D-GALACTOPYRANOSIDE AND D-MANNOPYRANOSIDE SUBSTRATES, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 5(12), 1994, pp. 2609-2632
Chiral recognition of enantiomeric trans-1,2-diol relationships leadin
g to regioselective formation of 1,8,13,16-tetraoxadispiro[5.0.5.4] he
xadecanes (dispiroketals) of various D-glucopyranoside, D-galactopyran
oside and D-mannopyranoside substrates is described. Regioselectivity
is achieved using the enantiomerically pure disubstituted tetrahydro-6
,6'-bi-2H-pyrans 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Facile removal of the dispiroketal
protecting group from a number of the sugar adducts has been achieved.
