Jmb. Sanz et al., REACTION OF 2,3 4,5-DI-O-ISOPROPYLIDENE-A LDEHYDED-ARABINOSE WITH ALKYL-ALKYL, AND PHENYLPHENYL-TRIOMETRYL-SULFOXIDES/, Anales de quimica, 89(3), 1993, pp. 365-371
Reaction of 2,3:4,5-di-o-isopropylidene-aldehyde-D-arabinose with meth
yl-methyl, ethyl-ethyl and phenyl-phenyl-thiomethylsulfoxides, gives t
he corresponding C-alkylation products as mixtures of isomeric sulfoxi
des. The appearance of major D-manno configuration in products is show
n by LiAlH4 reduction and total hydrolysis reactions.
